What it means to have a family doctor
Imagine not having to explain your story from scratch every time. Not being sent to a different doctor for every new question. Not wondering whether anyone is looking at the full picture.
A family doctor does that. She sees your toddler's earache, your blood pressure, your mother's joint pain. She trained across pediatrics, women's health, internal medicine, skin conditions, minor procedures, and more. She handles 80 to 90 percent of your family's healthcare needs without sending you somewhere else. And when you do need a specialist, she stays involved.
That's what family medicine is. And that's why Dr. Nevett chose it.
— My Story
From Caracas to Weston, and finding Family Medicine
Dr. Alexandra Nevett.
Family doctor and mom, caring for Weston families.
I grew up in Venezuela, where part of my heart still is. I went to medical school there, worked with underserved communities, and trained in everything from surgery to obstetrics. I was on track for ENT surgery, until political unrest and the economic crisis pushed us out, and Diego (my husband) and I left for Boston to continue studying. I arrived pregnant with our first son and no clear path forward.
I found a mentor at Brigham and Women's Hospital who changed that. He helped me find family medicine, a specialty I didn't even know existed: one doctor trained across pediatrics, women's health, internal medicine, minor procedures. The same person who sees your toddler's earache also follows your blood pressure, and stays involved when a specialist is needed. After years of training in fragments of medicine, here was a specialty built around whole families. It fit everything I had been looking for without knowing it. I did my residency, had two more boys, and started working as a hospitalist, learning how acute illness works from the inside. Then two things happened that changed my trajectory again.
First, the pandemic and the impact it had on all of us. We as a family started thinking about health in a much deeper and broader way. Then my father, who was 62, very athletic and apparently healthy, was diagnosed with a progressive form of dementia, and I slowly watched him lose his ability to speak. Those events changed how I understood medicine and health. Diego and I became deeply invested in how disease starts and how to prevent it. We wanted that for our family. Then for every family we could reach.
I started talking to my hospital patients about prevention, about the things no one tells you. But then they'd get discharged, and I'd never see them again. No relationship and no follow-through.
When we moved to South Florida, I took a primary care job. The practice belonged to an insurance company, where visits were always rushed, and I couldn't care for people the way I knew they deserved. It was the only time in my career I didn't enjoy being a doctor.
That's when we decided to start ON Care, to practice medicine the way I always wanted to: with time, access and a relationship that doesn't reset with every visit.
— Why it's called ON Care
Oteyza-Nevett
ON comes from Oteyza-Nevett, our family name. We started this practice because we wanted to care for families the way we care for our own. I'm a mother of three boys. I know what it's like to worry about a fever at midnight. I know what it's like to juggle school, meals, activities, and still try to keep everyone healthy. That's not just context for me. That's the reason ON Care exists.
Our Philosophy
At ON Care, we believe health is not just about check-ups. It's about how you and your family live, grow, and support each other every day. True well-being happens when care is personal, continuous, and shared. That's why we do things differently:
We care for families, not just individuals. Your health is shaped by your loved ones.
We take the time to listen. Your story matters.
We remove barriers. No insurance, no rush, just care.
We're always here. Unlimited visits, texts, and calls.
We go beyond symptoms. Health is balance: body, mind, and relationships.
