Drucilla Adeniran, FNP-C, is a Tracy, California native who has been caring for patients in the healthcare field since 2015. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from California State University, Stanislaus in 2018 and went on to gain extensive clinical experience as a registered nurse at Doctors Medical Center and Memorial Medical Center. There, she cared for patients with a wide variety of acute and complex conditions, including cardiac disease, stroke, sepsis, diabetic emergencies, and respiratory illnesses.
With a growing passion for Family Medicine and a desire to develop lasting relationships with her patients, Drucilla continued her education at Sonoma State University, earning her Master of Science in Nursing and becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2022. During her advanced practice training, she worked closely with Jagdish A. Patel, MD, who mentored her in Family and Occupational Medicine. She joined Patel & Pulliam, apmc in 2022 and has been caring for patients in her hometown community ever since.
While Drucilla provides comprehensive Family Medicine for patients of all ages, she has a special interest in the health and well-being of women throughout the different stages of life. She enjoys helping younger women with developmental and gynecologic concerns and caring for women as they navigate the physical and emotional changes that occur throughout adulthood. She has a particular interest in perimenopause and menopause, including evaluation of symptoms, preventive health, and individualized discussions about treatment options, including hormone therapy when appropriate.
Drucilla believes that excellent healthcare begins with listening. She strives to create an environment where patients feel comfortable discussing not only their physical symptoms, but also emotional and mental health concerns that can have an important impact on their overall well-being. Her approach combines compassionate, evidence-based care with preventive medicine, patient education, and thoughtful management of both acute and chronic medical conditions.
Outside of the office, Drucilla enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, and staying active at the gym. As someone who was born and raised in Tracy, she especially values the opportunity to give back to the community she calls home and care for its families for years to come.
