The practice
A small practice, deliberately.
Kadavil FNP & Associates is led by Tessy Kadavil, DNP, FNP, a nurse practitioner with more than thirty years in healthcare. Patients aged 8 and older are seen here for everyday care and for conditions that need managing over years rather than weeks.
What that means in practice is that the person you speak to on your first visit is the person you will see on your tenth. Your history does not have to be explained again each time, and the connections between your conditions are visible to someone who has watched them develop.
What we do
Five areas of care
Everyday primary care sits at the center. The other four are areas the practice has built specific experience in.
For the person, and for the people around them
Comprehensive Dementia Care
Individualized care for memory loss, cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia — alongside real support for the family.
Treated as the medical condition it is
Opioid Use Disorder Treatment
Comprehensive, personalized treatment for opioid use disorder — medication alongside care for the conditions that travel with it.
Addressing the causes, not just the weight
Medical Weight Management
Medically supervised weight management that treats obesity as the chronic medical condition it is — and looks for what is driving it.
Evaluation first
Hormone Therapy & Wellness
Individualized hormone evaluation and treatment for adult men and women, grounded in assessment and laboratory testing rather than assumption.
How we approach care
Treat what is driving it, not only what it looks like.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we evaluate the broader health factors that may contribute to inflammation and disease progression.
Chronic, low-grade inflammation is associated with many common conditions — diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and other metabolic disorders among them. Treated separately, each becomes its own appointment and its own set of numbers to chase.
So the assessment here covers the things that are genuinely modifiable: excess weight, dietary patterns, physical inactivity, poor sleep, stress, and chronic conditions that are not well controlled. Those are treated as clinical targets rather than as advice appended to the end of a visit.
The aim is to improve disease control, reduce the risk of complications and maintain function — measured in years, not in a single follow-up.

Why patients stay
What is different here
Drawn from what patients actually write about this practice, and from how it is set up to work.
You are not rushed
Patients describe unhurried appointments in which their concerns are heard in full. That is the most common theme across the practice’s reviews, and it is deliberate.
The whole person, not the presenting complaint
Care looks at the factors underneath a condition — nutrition, sleep, stress, activity, medications and other diagnoses — rather than treating each symptom in isolation.
Continuity over years
You see the same clinician. Your history is known rather than reconstructed from notes at the start of every appointment.
Difficult subjects handled plainly
Memory loss, opioid use disorder and weight are treated as the medical conditions they are, without judgment and without euphemism.
In patients’ words
What people say
5.0 from 23 reviews on Google, reproduced here word for word.
Ms. Tessy is an amazing provider! I started seeing her in September for an injection and began seeing her for primary care services shortly after. She has great bed side manner! Additionally I have never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen. Her office staff is wonderful especially Yvette. Very kind and courteous! You will not be disappointed in her services if you are looking for a new provider.
She is hands down the best pcp I've ever had. She truly cares about her patients. She listens and makes you feel so comfortable
Great dr. She’s kind, caring, and takes her time. I appreciate how she is getting to the root cause and not just treating symptoms.
