About

Welcome! My name is Ashley Quintana, nurse practitioner and owner at Q Health & Wellness. I am a native New Mexican, having grown up in northern New Mexico. My family and I have called Albuquerque home for the last 15+ years. Deep down I am just a small town girl, living in the big city. 

​

From a young age, I knew that caring for others was my calling in life, but it was not until I was a bit older that it became clear that caring for people was my true north. My healthcare journey started during high school, during which time I volunteered as a Candy Striper at my local hospital, where I later started my career as a nurse, working in the ICU and ER. Following graduation from high school, I started working as a certified nursing assistant, while attending college, obtaining my Bachelors in Nursing. During my time working as a RN, I had the pleasure of working in varied capacities including primary care for a tribal clinic, intensive care, and emergency medicine. While I loved working as a RN, I knew that I wanted to be able to do more for my patients, seeing the gaps that existed in care.

​

The gaps in care, as well as the limitations of traditional healthcare, pushed me to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. Following graduation, I was blessed to have been presented with a wonderful opportunity that provided me with the support and mentorship to not only grow, but find my passion, while learning the foundations necessary to be the best provider that I could. I have had the pleasure of working in a variety of settings including family medicine, urology, urogynecology, women's health, hospice, and home care, which have provided me with a strong foundation for caring for my patients. 

​

I feel passionate about providing patients with holistic, patient-center care!
