About
Meet Jim May, Your Trusted Healthcare Provider
Jim May, FNP-C, spent more than a decade as an ER and trauma nurse at Verde Valley Medical Center and Yavapai Regional Medical Center before becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. That background shapes how he practices: he listens closely, takes time with every concern, and builds treatment plans around each patient’s needs.
Jim earned his Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Purdue University, completing it while working full time during the COVID pandemic.
He grew up in the Verde Valley and graduated from Mingus High School. Direct Primary Care gives him the time to know his patients, their history, and their goals.
