Meet Our Providers
Sara Meadows, APRN
Hello! I am a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (APRN) with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. I began my career serving the community as an EMT and Paramedic, providing advanced prehospital care before pursuing nursing. I earned my RN from Lake Sumter State College and worked in both adult and pediatric emergency departments, as well as various other areas both in and out of the hospital.
I later completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Central Florida and went on to earn my Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner from South University. Throughout my career, I have remained passionate about emergency medicine while also providing primary care, urgent care, and preventative health services for both adults and children across the lifespan.
Today, I bring together my background in emergency medicine with a strong focus on wellness, prevention, and whole-person care. At Optimum Wellness Center, our mission is to combine proactive wellness and preventative care with evidence-based medical treatment when needed. Our goal is to help patients not only manage illness but also improve their overall health, energy, and quality of life through personalized care and I look forward to caring for you and your family.
Rosco Meadows, APRN
I am a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (APRN) with over 22 years of experience across multiple areas of the healthcare system. My medical career began serving the community as an EMT in Broward County, Florida before becoming a Firefighter/Paramedic, where I provided advanced prehospital care to patients in the field. During my time in the fire service, I had the opportunity to work as a contractor in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom—an experience that remains one of the most meaningful chapters of my career. After returning home, I continued serving in the fire service and was later promoted to Fire Captain.
As my passion for medicine grew, I pursued further education and completed my training as a Registered Nurse at Lake Sumter State College. I began working in the Emergency Department while continuing my studies, earning my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Central Florida.
I later earned my Master of Science in Nursing and became a Family Nurse Practitioner through South University. With emergency medicine being my passion, I continued practicing in the Emergency Department as a Nurse Practitioner, gaining extensive experience caring for patients during critical moments. Today, I am excited to bring that experience to Optimum Wellness Center, where I focus on men’s health and helping patients restore their energy and overall well-being. My goal is to combine decades of frontline medical experience with a patient-centered approach that helps men feel and perform at their best.
What is DPC?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a simple, old-school approach with modern convenience: you pay your provider directly for your care predictable per-visit fees. No insurance middlemen, no mystery bills, no “we need to code this as something bizarre so it gets covered.” It’s just you and your clinician, focusing on actual healthcare instead of paperwork. Think of it like the difference between walking into a grocery store and buying food… versus filing a claim with your insurance company to justify your loaf of sourdough.
By skipping insurance, DPC clinics can keep costs transparent, spend real time with patients, offer same- or next-day appointments, and manage care proactively instead of reactively. Patients get better access, less stress, and fewer surprise bills. Clinicians get to practice medicine the way they actually intended—without needing a decoder ring to understand insurance rules.
