Who Are We?
Judith Beck FNP-BC
Like you, I am tired of being treated as a number. The longer I have been in healthcare, the more I realize that electronic records, "meaningful use data collection" and focusing on a "drive through mentality is ruining medicine". Kindness and true compassion has taken a back seat to government regulations and speed. I entered healthcare to help people make the best of their lives by providing a path to Health, Vitality and therefore Happiness. As Synergy Complete Healthcare's founding owner, I’ve introduced Direct Primary Care to our area in Kansas to help prevent illness, give people access to care and tools they need to lead a healthy, meaningful life. The more healthcare becomes depersonalized, the more I see the importance of providing empathetic, patient focused care that is ever so necessary for people to thrive.
Because I have also always loved the science of medicine, focusing on the root cause of problems is enjoyable to me. I naturally gravitated to Functional Medicine and am now working toward a certification in the most exciting frontier of medicine available. I love nothing more than to share my knowledge with clients and help them achieve maximum health.
At Synergy, I talk with clients to learn their needs and together we formulate a plan of care. For some, traditional medicine works best but for others, preventative medicine, and anti-aging therapies are most appealing. I use a holistic approach to family medicine to treat both chronic and urgent health conditions, I provide both men's and women’s health, science backed skin care, weight management and hormone balancing. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I have over 21 years of Emergency Room experience and 8 years of Internal Medicine and Family Practice. I am interested in keeping people out of the ER, Urgent care and hospitals by being accessible when clients need care most.
Lastly, in 2014, I opened Synergy Complete Healthcare as a tribute to my extraordinary parents who taught me so much and gave me the values, work ethic and strength I needed to become the person I am today. Also, I firmly believe that nothing can be achieved without the assistance of Almighty God and it is by his Grace and aide, that our clinic is able to help the people of our community.

And, preventative medicine and education are some of her favorite parts of family practice as these empower patients to live healthier lives. She is firmly committed to your wellbeing and providing quality healthcare at affordable prices.
Brandi was born in Houston, Texas but raised in Kansas City, Kansas and continues to call it home. She has been married to her husband for 30 years and they have two adult daughters. She has a blond cockapoo named Charlie and a chocolate-brown cocker spaniel named Cooper Reese (he looks like a peanut butter cup). She enjoys music, landscaping, nature, and spending time with her family and extended family members. Her faith in Jesus Christ is her foundation. Don’t be surprised if she offers to pray for you from time to time. You are loved with an everlasting love.
