Liberty First Health

About Linda

History. Experience. Care.

History

Linda has more than 30 years of experience in managing healthcare for patients. She has practiced in Sarasota County for 25+ years and is proficient in primary care, preventative health, urgent care, and simple procedures such as incision and drainage, and suturing. She is also certified in advanced ultrasound guided joint injection for pain relief and regenerative therapies approved by The American Association of Nurse Practitioners. Like Travis, Linda’s mission and care philosophy embraces a patient centered approach.

Compassion, empathy, and authentic concern for patients, and their loved ones, make Liberty First Health your choice for healthcare. I consider it a privilege to work alongside professionals that strive to improve the healthcare services available to our community.
— Linda Martell
