La Michael Newsome, NP, is a graduate of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, where he completed his Master of Science in Nursing Administration and Master of Business in 2026. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of St Thomas in Houston, graduating magna cum laude. Having earned his Family Nurse Practitioner certification, La Michael joined Kelsey-Seybold’s Family Medicine department in March 2026.

La Michael was inspired to pursue a career in healthcare by his mother, whom he considers to be his own lifelong caregiver. As he provides primary care to patients throughout the lifespan, his goal is to ensure all his patients feel seen, heard, and valued as partners in their own care. La Michael promotes wellness by providing comprehensive preventive care and attends to patients with acute symptoms such as pain, rashes, seasonal illness, and more. He also helps patients treat and manage chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and more — and he has a particular interest in wound care. For La Michael, the best part of his role as a nurse practitioner is learning from his patients, peers, and new and emerging information, which helps ensure he is delivering the best and most effective care to his patients.

Philosophy of Care

La Michael believes that accountability, follow-through, respect, honesty, and communication are critical in establishing a trusting relationship with each of his patients. With a patient- and family-centered approach, he builds equitable, evidence-based care plans around each patient’s priorities, needs, and goals while honoring their cultural values and lived experiences.
