I’m Nina Pliakos, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Evexia Primary Care.

My path into healthcare began at the University of Iowa, where I completed my undergraduate studies in human physiology and worked as a CNA. I later earned my nursing degree from Millikin University and went on to complete my Family Nurse Practitioner training at the University of Cincinnati.

My background in both bedside nursing and advanced practice has shaped how I care for patients — thoughtfully, thoroughly, and with deep respect for the individual sitting in front of me.

I believe primary care should feel approachable and collaborative. Visits with me are relaxed and conversational, but always grounded in evidence-based medicine. I take the time to listen carefully, explain clearly, and ensure you feel confident in your care plan.

My passion lies in prevention, education, and building long-term relationships with my patients. I am committed to providing high-quality, ethical care, especially care that prioritizes your well-being over volume or shortcuts.

At Evexia Primary Care, my goal is simple: to help you achieve lasting, whole-person health through partnership, trust, and thoughtful medical guidance.
