FNP-C
Josie Cervantes, FNP-C, is the Founder and CEO of Elko Replenish Med Spa and a certified Family Nurse Practitioner in Elko, NV, with more than 18 years of experience in healthcare. Originally from Texas and the first in her family to graduate, Josie built her career and her practice around a simple belief: real health starts long before a crisis forces you to pay attention to it. As an aesthetic and wellness provider, she has spent her career focused on personalized preventive healthcare rather than reactive, symptom-based treatment.
Patients from Elko, Spring Creek, Lamoille, Carlin, Wells, and surrounding Northern Nevada communities trust Josie Cervantes, FNP-C, for personalized, evidence-based wellness and aesthetic care focused on long-term health.
Josie’s path into healthcare and, eventually, into building her own practice was shaped by a serious personal health scare. After surviving a life-threatening battle with COVID-19, she came away with a firsthand understanding of how quickly health can unravel and how often people wait until they are already in crisis to take it seriously. That experience became the foundation for Elko Replenish Med Spa: a practice built not to treat symptoms after the fact, but to help patients get ahead of them.
Rather than treating hormone balance, weight, skin health, stress, and mental wellness as separate problems, Josie set out to build an integrated practice where all of it is considered as one connected picture of how a patient actually feels. As Founder and CEO, she has grown Elko Replenish Med Spa into Northern Nevada’s first integrated, prevention-first health and wellness practice, staffing licensed Registered Nurses rather than on-the-job-trained medical assistants. Raised by a hardworking single mother and her grandmother, Josie often credits her resilience and drive to that upbringing, along with a deep personal sense of calling to care for the people in her community as a Family Nurse Practitioner in Elko.
As an experienced aesthetic provider and family nurse practitioner, Josie oversees a wide range of wellness and aesthetic services, drawing on years of hands-on clinical experience across each area, including:
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for both men and women, addressing energy, mood, and body composition.
Provider-guided, personalized weight management programs built around lab work and individual metabolism.
Injectable treatments, skin rejuvenation, and facial balancing, delivered by an experienced aesthetic provider who prioritizes natural-looking results.
Root-cause evaluation across hormone health, nutrition, and skin health rather than treating each in isolation.
Josie’s approach centers on getting ahead of problems rather than reacting to them once they appear. Every patient begins with a comprehensive assessment, not just a treatment menu, that considers hormone testing, nutritional status, and skin health together to understand the full picture of what is actually going on. From there, care plans are built around each patient’s individual biology and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all package. This philosophy also extends to mental wellness, which Josie treats as part of physical health rather than an afterthought, incorporating a mind-body approach into the broader practice. For Josie, prevention-first care means asking different questions from the start, focusing on what is contributing to how a patient feels rather than simply reacting to a single symptom in isolation.
Under Josie’s leadership, Elko Replenish Med Spa has been recognized with multiple community and industry awards, including a Readers’ Choice Winner distinction, the 2025 Quality Business Award with a 95%+ quality rating, and recognition as a top laser hair removal provider in Elko. These honors reflect the standard of care Josie has built into the practice from day one, rather than recognition earned overnight. Josie also hosts the Beyond Barriers Podcast, sharing expert insight on health, beauty, and wellness with the broader community, and remains committed to ongoing continuing education to keep the practice’s care current and evidence-based. She views staying current on emerging treatments and research as a core responsibility of leading a growing practice, not an optional add-on.
Josie oversees care across the full range of services offered at Elko Replenish Med Spa, including Medical Weight Loss, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Injectable Aesthetics, and IV Vitamin Therapy , as well as functional medicine and preventive wellness support. As an experienced Family Nurse Practitioner in Elko, NV , and a trusted aesthetic provider in the community, she brings the same root-cause, whole-person philosophy to every service line the practice offers, ensuring that no single treatment is recommended without first understanding how it fits into a patient’s broader health picture.

Josie takes a personalized, prevention-first approach, starting every relationship with a comprehensive assessment of a patient’s hormone, nutrition, and skin health. Treatment plans are then built around each patient’s individual biology and goals.
Rather than waiting for a diagnosis or crisis, prevention-first medicine focuses on identifying and addressing root causes early, before symptoms become more serious. This approach treats hormone balance, weight, skin, and mental wellness as connected rather than separate concerns.
