Family Nurse Practitioner
About Ksena McCoy, FNP-C
Ksena McCoy is a Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in the medical field. Her healthcare career began as a Patient Care Technician at Memorial Health of Savannah while attending nursing school, graduating as a registered nurse in 2004. She worked as a dedicated bedside nurse for a decade before returning to earn her master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner, graduating in 2016 from Armstrong State University — now Georgia Southern University’s Savannah campus.
Throughout her career in internal medicine, dermatology, and wound care, Ksena consistently sought to integrate a whole-body approach into her patient care, even within the framework of conventional medicine. She valued looking beyond symptoms to explore how diet, environmental exposures, and nutrient deficiencies could be underlying drivers of illness.
Her passion for hormone health grew out of her own personal experience with infertility. She understands that hormones are not isolated — they are deeply interconnected with every facet of wellness, from metabolic health to mental clarity. This insight shapes her functional and integrative medicine practice today, where she focuses on uncovering root causes and restoring balance to help patients thrive.
Outside of her practice, Ksena enjoys spending time with her husband, their two children, three dogs, and one cat. She loves being outdoors, whether immersed in nature or simply enjoying moments with her family.
