Geeta Sharma, DNP, NP-C is the founder of Everest Diabetes and Endocrinology. After completing her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at Quinnipiac University in 2019, she attended Duke University and completed post masters certification for diabetes, endocrinology and metabolism.

She is a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner who has been practicing in endocrinology since 2019.

Experience as RN

Prior to completing her Nurse Practitioner Degree at Quinnipiac University, she worked as a Registered Nurse at Yale New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, at a Skilled Nursing Facility and in Home Care.

Passion for Diabetes & Cardiometabolic Disorders

Geeta’s passion for the treatment of pre-diabetes, diabetes and weight management started early in her career. As a nurse, she was fortunate enough to take care of patients with diabetes and metabolic disorders in various settings.

Unfortunately, by the time she was taking care of those patients, they were further in their disease process and indifferent to changing their lifestyle. They had accepted that dialysis and death would be the end result; a tragic outcome that has motivated her to find a position in an outpatient setting where she could help intervene earlier in the disease process.

Treatment Style, Patient Self Advocacy & Empowerment

Geeta incorporates a holistic, individualized approach to care by actively engaging with and listening to her patients. She works collaboratively with her patients through shared decision-making and using transparent communication skills to promote lasting, healthy behavior change.

She believes in encouraging patient self- advocacy and empowering them to make informed healthcare decisions. Her teaching emphasizes educating patients about how to inquire about the best evidence-based treatment options, how to navigate the complex healthcare system and how to build a strong patient provider partnership.

She is passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles in conjunction with medication management to prevent, treat and reverse chronic disease including diabetes and obesity. She believes that every individual should have access to care, receive knowledge about his or her available treatment options and be shown relevant evidence-based information to improve their knowledge and health outcomes.
