About the provider

Dr. Merlyn Clarke, with a Doctor of Nursing Practice and multiple advanced practice certifications and licenses, brings a wealth of experience to her role in family medicine. With a nursing career spanning over four decades, Dr. Clarke has honed her skills in various specialties, including family medicine and psychiatry. She has had professional stints in Guyana, the UK, and the US. Currently, Dr. Clarke practices independently, both in person and online. She explains, “With my doctoral training, I am equipped to care for patients across the lifespan, from newborns to seniors. I can evaluate, diagnose, and manage most conditions encountered in the clinic or through telehealth services. For complex cases, I can facilitate referrals to physicians or specialists.” In 2010, Dr. Clarke relocated to the United States from London and began contributing to nursing education as an adjunct faculty member at the Mildred Elley School of Nursing in New York. She balanced teaching with a consulting role at the Visiting Nursing Services of New York. She pursued her academic career by earning a master’s in Family Nurse Practitioner from The College of New Rochelle, a doctoral degree from Georgia State University, and a postdoctoral degree in psychiatric mental health. She also holds double board certification as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Dr. Clarke’s clinical expertise extends to managing conditions such as anxiety, depression, drug addiction, alcohol abuse, ADHD, OCD, autism, erectile dysfunction, diabetes, hypertension, seizure disorders, birth control, chronic illnesses, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, and fertility treatment, among others. Driven by a deep commitment to family medicine, Dr. Clarke is equally passionate about educating patients on achieving and maintaining optimal health. She emphasizes the availability of specialized care through telemedicine and in-person consultations for Georgia, New York, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Delaware, Kentucky, Connecticut, Oklahoma, and Florida residents. Compassion, mentorship, and a desire to positively impact people’s lives drove Dr. Clarke’s journey into family medicine. Her dedication to teaching patients about maintaining optimal health reflects her passion for mental health and family medicine and her belief in accessible care for all, whether in person or through telemedicine.

Licensed to practice in: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma

    I was in need of being seen for the flu. The care was fast, professional and I got everything I needed for a good price. It was more helpful than going to the ER.

    She is very thoughtful and easy to talk to about delicate health issues. I have had a couple of other clinicians in the past few year and she is by far my favorite. I feel listened to and supported with my health concerns. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good online clinician.
