I'm a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in holistic health care, working closely with patients to achieve their goals and manage chronic conditions through individualized diet, exercise and medical management. A tried-and-true Floridian, Sara was born and raised in Miami, received her BSN from Florida State University in 2006 and MSN from University of Florida in 2012. St Augustine became her forever home in 2007 and life is full of activity with her amazing husband and four busy kids. When not caring for patients, she is likely to be found on the soccer turf or baseball pitch but tries to squeeze in a beach day or camping trip whenever the opportunity arises!
“Dr.Thor is very Professional but also very Personable. She listens intently to what you have to say and gives great clear Feedback. She takes a personal interest in all of her patients. She takes her time and does not rush through her time. You feel like you are the most important person when you are seeing her. She gives clear instructions and asks the right questions to make sure that everything is covered ! I highly recommend Dr. Thor!”
Welcome to Crescent Beach Care!
As a nurse practitioner, I strive to provide holistic care, focusing on health maintenance, health promotion, and disease management. I also value quality, consistent care to everyone. I moved to St. Augustine in 2018 after living in Gainesville for many years. My family and I jumped at the opportunity to join this beautiful beach community where we enjoy everything outdoors, including kayaking, biking and camping. I am proud to be a member of the Crescent Beach Care team of providers. I look forward to personalizing care for each of my patients and their families.
“This was my first visit with Liz. I have been going to Crescent Beach Care for approximately 12 years.
Liz is Great! She's down to earth, very positive, knows what she's doing and does it well!! I would highly recommend her and would not hesitate seeing her again.”
Originally from Richmond, VA, I did some time in the Army and ended up in Texas, where I met my wife. Our young family decided to move back to Florida get back to the beach and culture. I enjoy procedures, acute and chronic care, and working together with patients to achieve their goals. I enjoy working with patients to prevent and correct any health concerns they may have. I enjoy any hiking and camping, tinkering in the garage, and going to the beach.

Mr. Nelson Calvo, APRN
Family Nurse Practitioner 9.5 mi
Nelson Calvo, APRN is originally from Havana City, Cuba. Growing up he always had a passion for medicine and in 1990 started medical School and graduated in 1996 as a general practitioner in a well-recognized institution, Hospital Calixto Garcia. Nelson then completed his residency program as a Family Physician, ending as a specialist in Urology in 2002. Shortly after, he was sent by the Cuban government to Venezuela as a primary care provider to serve as a doctor in underserved communities.
Working without resources in a community, living below the poverty standard, isolated from health facilities, without economic resources, and with an extremely low level of education, created a new challenge for Mr. Clavo. He then set a goal to reduce comorbidities and mortality associated with parasitism, and chronic/acute disease.
In 2007 he moved to America in hopes of better possibilities for his family and himself. In 2018, after many years of hard work and dedication, Nelson graduated as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner and returned to the Primary Care setting again. Now with more experience, he utilized the tools he learned in medical school, residency, and life to improve and promote health in my community. As a practitioner, his goal is to continue using his extensive experience when treating patients and learning in this fast-evolving world of medicine.
Nelson Calvo, APRN is proud to be happily married with two sons, one of which has already graduated as a Medical Doctor and the other on his way to becoming a physician as well. In his free time, he likes practicing sports, dancing, and listening to music.
