Our team
Dr. NATE FRANLEY, MD
I grew up in Jefferson, Ohio, a small town just across the OH/PA border. My father was a dentist, my grandfather an old-school doctor who delivered around 3,000 babies in our county, and my other grandfather a veterinarian. Witnessing their dedication to their patients and community inspired me to bring back small-town medicine to Fairview and Erie, PA.
My journey in medicine began at the University of Toledo College of Medicine, where I developed a passion for Sports Medicine under Dr. Roger Kruse, who treated Olympic-level athletes and performed bone marrow "stem cell" injections. After a summer break as a white-water raft guide on the Yellowstone River, I completed my family medicine residency at the Cleveland Clinic, followed by a Sports Medicine Fellowship. During my fellowship, I worked with athletes of all levels and served on a committee evaluating medical fitness for Cleveland Indians draft prospects.
I had the privilege of working with the Cleveland Cavaliers' medical staff during their first finals appearance in over 40 years, serving as a team physician for Baldwin Wallace College for three years, and multiple high schools during my 9.5 years at Ashtabula Regional Medical Center, a Cleveland Clinic affiliate. At ARMC, I also served as the medical director of Sports Medicine and Occupational Health and Wellness.
In 2020, my wife Brittney and I moved to Fairview, PA, and we love it here. Brittney, a former physician assistant in urology, is now a professor at Gannon University’s physician assistant program. We both enjoy golfing and outdoor activities such as running, mountain biking, skiing, and various sports. We are blessed with three young children: Andrew, Vivian, and Christopher (CJ), who are the center of our lives.
I'm excited to bring my practice to Fairview and Erie, PA, and I'm passionate about helping others achieve their health goals. I will assess physical and mental barriers and guide you through a Peak Performance Health Optimization Plan. As your primary care physician through our concierge medicine plan, I will also treat sports injuries and orthopedic conditions, either bundled in the plan or separately.
