Samiat Yemi Telufusi, APRN

As a nurse practitioner at Sanitas, I provide comprehensive care for all my patients. I treat their mind, body and spirit and use all the resources available to make them happy and improve their health. I’m available when patients need me.

A good day at work means I’ve made a positive impact. My patients feel heard and understood, resulting in satisfaction and trust in my ability to provide the care they need.

Of Nigerian decent, I was born and raised in Houston. I’ve always been passionate about helping others and have a deep interest in the science of medicine. Growing up, I volunteered at local hospitals and was drawn to the compassionate care provided by nurses and the knowledge and expertise they had about disease processes. I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a part of the healthcare field and make a difference in people's lives.

When I’m not working, I enjoy cooking and exploring new cuisines, traveling, dancing, working out, photography and rooting for my home teams—Go Astros! Go Rockets! Most importantly, I love spending time with my family.
