Originally from Pennsylvania, Tia Waikem began her nursing career after earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2010. She later moved to Texas in 2014 while working as a travel nurse and quickly grew to call Texas home.
Tia continued her education at The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, where she earned her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) in 2020 and became a certified Family Nurse Practitioner. She is an active member of Texas Nurse Practitioners (TNP), the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), and the San Antonio Nurses of Advanced Practice (SANAP).
For the past five years, Tia has practiced in a primary care setting, helping patients manage chronic conditions while also supporting them on their weight loss journeys. She is passionate about disease prevention and enjoys working with patients to set realistic goals that help them prioritize their health and feel their best. Tia is excited to continue sharing her knowledge and resources with patients at Seger MD.
Outside of the office, Tia enjoys spending quality time with her husband and daughter. She loves staying active through hiking, swimming, and golfing, and enjoys traveling to explore new places. Tia is also an avid reader and looks forward to setting her Goodreads reading challenge goal each year.
