Neilan John “NJ” Acaso is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 13 years of healthcare experience in the Philippines and the United States. His background includes urgent care, critical care, nursing leadership, education, and healthcare administration, providing him with a broad perspective on caring for patients across a variety of healthcare settings.


NJ believes that excellent healthcare begins with listening. He strives to create an environment where patients feel heard, respected, and comfortable discussing their concerns. His approach combines compassionate, evidence-based care with clear communication, helping patients better understand their health and take an active role in their care.


Outside of healthcare, NJ enjoys discovering new restaurants and spending time with family and friends. With a busy schedule between clinical practice and continuing education, free time can sometimes be hard to come by, but he enjoys traveling, exploring new places, and getting outdoors for a good hike whenever the opportunity arises.


“My goal is simple: for every patient to leave feeling heard, cared for, and more confident about their health.”
