I try to do for others what I would want done for me. I work hard to find answers for my patients, I research, refer, and collaborate so that we can come together to find the best way to manage their symptoms.

Lynn Zachar is a family nurse practitioner with a diverse background in patient care. At Oshi, she’s dedicated to helping patients find lasting relief through a team-based, whole-person approach. Lynn works closely with gut-brain specialists and registered dietitians to look beyond symptoms and dig deeper.

Her passion for gastrointestinal (GI) care is personal. Lynn and her family have faced their own digestive health challenges, inspiring her to support others with similar experiences. She also loves how the digestive system always offers up a new learning opportunity.

Before joining Oshi, Lynn cared for patients at a small private GI practice. She noticed that traditional care often overlooked the psychological and dietary sides of GI health, and there was little communication between providers. At Oshi, she’s proud to be a part of a team that connects the dots for each patient.

Outside of work, Lynn enjoys reading, watching drama-filled movies, staying active with walks and workouts, and spending time with her husband and three kids.
