A true family operation
Home / Our Team
A hometown clinic built on faith, hard work, and a promise: you'll always have a healthcare partner who knows your name.
Meet Your Provider
Born and raised in Silsbee, Dr. Tammie (West) Gore, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, has spent more than two decades caring for Southeast Texas — first as a registered nurse in local hospitals, and today as a doctorate-prepared, board certified Family Nurse Practitioner.
Her journey spanned four graduation stages: an Associate Degree in Nursing from Lamar University in 1999, followed by her BSN, her Master's as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and finally her Doctor of Nursing Practice from The University of Texas at Arlington in December 2021 — all while working full time and raising a family.
"Our desire is to build long-term relationships, so you know you have a healthcare partner for the whole family."
In 2021, a weathered 1958 building on Silsbee's main street became the future home of Family First Health & Wellness. On the front door was a faded sticker: "In God We Trust." Today that building is a beautiful, fully renovated clinic serving families across Hardin County.
When she's not caring for patients, you'll find Tammie trail riding with family and friends — and counting her blessings every single day.
