Amy Habing, NP

Nurse Practitioner · Infectious Disease

Amy Habing, a Lyme literate nurse practitioner, discovered her passion for medicine as a Hospital Corpsman in the United States Navy, where she first learned to manage critical, high-stakes cases under pressure. After nursing school, she carried that instinct into the ER, telemetry, and med/surg units — treating critically ill patients and learning to read the whole-body picture behind complex presentations. It was there, at the bedside, that she began noticing a pattern: the standard tests she relied on to guide care kept coming back with a name for the disease but no real answer about its cause. That gap — between diagnosis and true explanation — became the question that has driven her practice ever since. Her own battle with Lyme disease changed the course of her career. Years of misdiagnosis before she finally found answers and recovered gave her a firsthand understanding of how easily this infection is missed — and what it actually takes to treat it. That experience is what led her to become a Nurse Practitioner. Today, Amy specializes in infectious disease, with a particular focus on Lyme disease, coinfections, and complex chronic illness. She brings both clinical rigor and lived understanding to every patient she treats at Newport Integrative — she's not just treating a diagnosis; she knows what it's like to be searching for one.
