Portrait of Ashley Irons

Ashley Irons, FNP-C

Family Nurse Practitioner

About Ashley

Before she ever wrote a prescription, Ashley spent roughly seven years at the bedside, looking after patients before and after surgery and on general medical and GI units. She earned her Family Nurse Practitioner certification in 2020.

Her favorite part of the job is teaching. She wants every patient to leave the exam room understanding their health and feeling ready to take the wheel.

An East Peoria, Illinois native, Ashley swapped the Midwest for North Carolina in 2021, along with her husband and their two kids.

Off the clockWeekends mean farm animals, a good book, a workout and as much time outside as possible.
