🇺🇸 Did You Know? 🇺🇸

Many people are surprised to learn that Creekside Family Practice accepts Tricare, including patients covered through TriWest.

We are honored to care for Active Duty family members, retirees, veterans, and all eligible family members covered under Tricare plans. As a veteran-owned practice, and with team members who spent years raising families alongside military service, we understand the unique challenges that come with military life, deployments, frequent moves, and navigating healthcare benefits.

Whether you’re looking for a primary care provider, preventive care, chronic disease management, or care for an acute illness, we’re here to serve you and your family.

We are also credentialed with Humana for those patients who have found themselves searching for a new provider and we are actively pursuing credentialing with CHAMPVA and look forward to expanding our ability to serve even more military families and survivors.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. It is our privilege to care for those who serve and the families who support them.

To our incredible Creekside patients… thank you from the bottom of our hearts.💙

We have been blown away by the amount of kind feedback, encouraging reviews, thoughtful cards, and sweet gestures our patients have shared with our team. Seeing your words and support truly means more to us than you know.

Becoming an FNP was always my dream, and there are still days I have to pause and pinch myself because I truly feel so blessed to do what I love alongside such an amazing staff and community.

One thing I strongly believe is that education is one of the most important things we can provide as medical professionals. Patients deserve to understand their bodies, their health, their medications, and the “why” behind their care. Our goal has always been to help empower patients to make informed decisions and support them on their journey toward safer, healthier, and more balanced living through western medicine, holistic supplements, lifestyle changes, prevention, and education.

We are always striving to continue learning, growing, and expanding what we can offer our patients. We never pretend to know everything, but we promise to keep researching, learning, and collaborating with other professionals so we can help guide our patients in the best direction possible.

We truly have the BEST patients, and we never take your trust or support for granted. Thank you for allowing Creekside Family Practice to be part of your lives and your health journey.

Sincerely,
Christie Hurst, APRN, MSN, FNP-C 🤍

Hi everyone! I’m Christie Hurst, Family Nurse Practitioner, and I am excited to officially introduce myself as the newest team member at Creekside Family Practice.
My passion for patient care began back in 1990 as a nursing aide. After taking some time away to focus on family and other ventures, I returned to pursue my passion for healthcare—becoming a Licensed Vocational Nurse, then earning my Associate Degree in Nursing to become a Registered Nurse, followed by my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and ultimately completing my Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner.
Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of specialties including medical/surgical care, internal medicine, allergy, pulmonology, cardiology, gastroenterology, ENT, and plastics. These experiences have shaped my approach to patient care and allow me to look at the whole picture when caring for my patients.
I also had the privilege of completing a four-month clinical internship in functional medicine under the mentorship of an exceptional physician and nurse practitioner. This experience gave me a deep appreciation for root-cause medicine and a balanced approach to care—combining evidence-based treatments, natural and holistic therapies, and medications when appropriate to best support each patient’s health.
My true passion is family practice. I believe in a holistic approach to care—focusing on the whole person while also using medications appropriately to support health and healing. I enjoy working with patients of all ages and helping each individual reach their own unique health goals.
Before returning to nursing full-time, I spent almost 8 years running daycares, which gave me a special love for working with children and families. That experience continues to influence how I connect with my patients today.
I am a Christian, and my faith is an important part of who I am. My husband retired from the Army after serving for over 30 years, and we chose to make Salado our home because my parents and family live here. My granddaughter attends Salado Middle School, and this community means so much to our family.
I am here for the long haul and believe that continuity of care and building long-term relationships are key to truly supporting the health of our patients.
I am currently accepting new patients and would love the opportunity to care for you and your family.
I am excited to be a part of your healthcare journey.
