Career

Nesheiwat is a family medicine physician with board certification.  In the early years of her profession, she worked as a practitioner in Northwest Arkansas and anchored Family Health Today on Jones TV.  She was honored with the Red Cross Community Partner Hero Award in 2012.

Nesheiwat was included on Arkansas Business’s yearly “40 under 40” list in 2013, which highlights 40 Arkansas leaders under 40. Her medical business, local television reporting, and humanitarian work in Morocco, Haiti, and Poland, as well as in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the Joplin storms, earned her recognition.

Nesheiwat moved to New York City in 2012 and worked at an urgent care center called CityMD.  She went on to become a director of CityMD.

During the second Trump administration, Nesheiwat was briefly considered for the position of Surgeon General of the United States. After investigative reporting showed that Nesheiwat had falsely claimed board certification in emergency medicine, lied about being commissioned as an army officer, and misrepresented her medical education as coming from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences rather than the American University of the Caribbean, Trump withdrew the nomination on May 7, 2025.

Furthermore, far-right activist Laura Loomer said that Nesheiwat was “not ideologically aligned” with Trump. Hours later, Trump announced that Casey Means would be his pick for surgeon general.
