“I chose this field to make a difference in people’s lives. As a young boy, I was always interested in seeing my X-rays after sporting injuries. As I got older, I witnessed firsthand my grandmother’s illness caused by toxic chemicals from the dry cleaning industry where she worked for many years, hoping someday I would be able to help her.”

“I enjoy the privilege of being part of people’s lives when they need advice, counseling or comfort through the joyous, apprehensive and difficult times. It’s rewarding to earn a patient’s trust over time so I can learn how best to assist him or her with some of the most personal and important decisions he or she will ever make. What I find most gratifying is walking with patients through difficult times and witnessing them reach their health goals.”

“I realize that everyone’s situation and life experiences are unique. That is why I take a partnership approach to care. This is the beauty and art I love about medicine: no two situations or paths to health are the same. I strive to give my patients a thoughtful, high-quality and individualized care experience within a peaceful and unhurried environment. Along with our concierge approach, we still want to be families and businesses choice for being their Primary Care Physician Greenville NC provider.”

In his spare time, Dr. Lacroix has coached sports for over 20 seasons, including baseball, flag football and basketball. He and his wife are very active in their church and lead small group Bible studies on weekends. Having a heart for those less fortunate in the community, they avail themselves to outreach opportunities.

At Viva Med, we create a big difference in people’s lives. Call us at 252-329-VIVA (8482). 

Meet Rekita

Rekita Williams, FNP-C

“I am a Family Nurse Practitioner who has been practicing in family medicine for 4 years with primary focus on prevention of chronic disease and maximizing outcomes in those with chronic disease. My background consists of primary care, acute care, long-term care, and health care management. I am currently studying to obtain a psychiatric nurse practitioner certification in order to effectively manage psychiatric healthcare needs and help fill the gaps in care that exist. I made the decision to go into healthcare at a young age as my passion has always been to help/serve others. My philosophy of care is to partner with patients to identify and establish an individualized health care plan.”

“What I enjoy most about being a medical provider is building relationships with my patients and having the opportunity to be part of the success of their outcomes. My goal is to be accessible and provide the safest and efficient healthcare possible, while building trusting partnerships as we take this journey together as it relates to your care.”

“I am currently a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, especially having mommy-daughter dates. Other enjoyment includes painting and traveling. I love giving back to the community by participating in health fairs and service events.”

I feel the nursing field chose me as I began a journey to enhance my own personal wellness and find the right “physical balance”. I wanted to improve my energy and balance my mood.

So, I attended and obtained my Associate of Science in Nursing at Sampson Community College in 2011 and worked for one year then went on to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2013 from Grand Canyon University.  After years in the nursing field I decided to further my education as a Nurse Practitioner, completing my MSN in Adult Gerontology and Primary Care Nursing Program. 

My focus is on wellness, nutrition, hormones, and micronutrients.  I enjoy performing procedures like injections, implants, and starting IV’s and other healthy infusions like Myer’s Cocktails. This led me to learn more about the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, IV vitamin infusions, and aesthetics procedures.  Finding a harmonious balance is key for me and my patients so they can feel renergized.

Overall, I enjoy getting to know you on a personal level, assisting you with becoming the best version of yourself by defining and restoring your personal health goals. I have found a niche in doing this through Hormone Optimization, weight loss strategies, Vitamin IV infusions and various other aesthetic procedures. I am pleased the Viva Med allows me to do this and much more in servicing our patients.
