Dr. Kristen Nebel, DO

Dr. Kristen Nebel has been a part of the Lancaster community since 1995. She resides here with her husband, sons, and doodles. 

Dr. Kristen Nebel is a board-certified physician in Family Medicine and Geriatric Medicine with more than two decades of experience dedicated to the care of older adults. Throughout her career, she has been driven by a deep belief that medicine should be rooted in compassion, relationships, and treating the whole person—not simply managing disease.

From an early age, Dr. Nebel knew she wanted to become a physician. Drawn to osteopathic medicine for its holistic approach to healing, she built her career around caring for the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of her patients. Her guiding philosophy has always been to heal whenever possible and to provide compassionate care at all times.

In 2026, Dr. Nebel concluded her role as the founder and physician of PEACE OF MIND Aging & Wellness Specialists, an innovative in-home primary care practice serving older adults throughout Lancaster County. Through her practice, she provided personalized medical care, geriatric consultations, advocacy, and support for patients and their families, allowing seniors to receive comprehensive, relationship-centered care in the comfort of their own homes.

Today, Dr. Nebel focuses her expertise on Legal Medical Case Reviews and Hospice Medicine, where her extensive clinical experience, meticulous attention to detail, and compassionate perspective help patients, families, attorneys, and healthcare teams navigate complex medical situations. Her background caring for individuals with chronic illness, dementia, memory disorders, and complex medical and social needs provides valuable insight into medical record analysis, standards of care, causation, and end-of-life care.

Dr. Nebel has a special interest in dementia and cognitive disorders, caregiver education, and improving the quality of care for older adults. She has served in leadership roles within local healthcare organizations, on the board of a nonprofit retirement community, and has contributed to the development of national dementia care protocols.

A graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Nebel completed her Family Medicine residency at Lancaster General Hospital—one of the nation’s premier family medicine residency programs—and subsequently completed a fellowship in Geriatric Medicine at Lancaster General Hospital. She has been a part of the Lancaster community since 1995, where she lives with her husband, their five sons, and their beloved doodles.

Whether reviewing complex medical cases or providing comfort and guidance through hospice care, Dr. Nebel remains committed to serving others with integrity, empathy, and clinical excellence.
