Nathan Crawshaw, PA-C

I’m Nathan Crawshaw, PA-C, and I am a board-certified physician assistant who joined Phelps Health in December 2022. I see patients of all ages, and my collaborating physician is Family Medicine Physician Cory Offutt, MD. I commonly see patients for chronic illnesses, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. I also perform joint injections and minor dermatology (skin) procedures.

Since an early age, medicine has always interested me. I remember “listening” to my dad’s heart with my toy stethoscope and gravitating towards science classes in school. Prior to becoming a PA, I served in the military and worked as a lab assistant and a phlebotomist.

As a PA, provider-patient teamwork is essential. We need to work together to manage medical conditions and to meet wellness goals. I consider myself a good listener and strive to ensure my patients are being heard.

I choose to work at Phelps Health because of its esteemed reputation in the community. And working here is like coming home, as I was born and raised in Waynesville, Missouri.

When I’m not taking care of patients, I can often be found at the gym. I also enjoy archery, target shooting, video games and spending time with my family. I have two cats, Lynx and Boo.

I also offer telehealth visits, which allow patients to visit with me remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and audio-video capabilities.
