Her Journey and Approach to Care

Nadia’s passion for helping others began early, leading her to a career in nursing that blends her love of science and service. Her time in the U.S. Navy and extensive travels deepened her empathy and connection with diverse cultures, including military personnel and their families, understanding the unique challenges of service and deployments.

With over a decade of experience, Nadia provides culturally sensitive care, understanding that behavior is shaped by upbringing, trauma, and culture. She educates patients on the science of psychiatric symptoms, emphasizing that the brain, like any organ, requires proper care—just as we cannot will the pancreas to produce insulin, we cannot will away depression. This approach helps patients embrace treatment without shame.

Nadia’s compassionate approach empowers patients to engage in their healing journey with confidence and clarity.

I was especially impressed with the thoroughness of all aspects of my experience with Ventre Medical. Despite the limitations of personal contact due to the pandemic, I never felt that my care was compromised. The staff was attentive in every way, and my experience with Dr. Caro was also thorough, enjoyable and comforting. Yes, 5 stars

I am always welcomed and treated professionally by all the staff. I want to say that if the staff becomes overwhelmed Dr. Joubert will come out and call me himself. It nice to see that they work as a team Doctors and Staff. It’s a real pleasure to visit this office everyone has a smile and in constant camaraderie thank you this was a great day.
