John “Will” Bacon, FNP-C, is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner serving patients at Southeast Medical Group’s Statesboro location since 2021. Will brings a comprehensive and compassionate approach to healthcare, focusing on both chronic and acute conditions as well as preventative care.
Will holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Georgia and earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing from Georgia Southern University. During his time at Georgia Southern he was recognized for his leadership and professionalism, being named class treasurer and voted “Most Professional Student” by his peers. He spent over 6 years working as a registered nurse in the emergency department at East Georgia Regional Medical Center before returning to school and completing his FNP.
Will is accepting new patients ages 6 and older. Will provides comprehensive care for a wide range of chronic conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, COPD, arthritis, and chronic kidney disease. He also manages mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and insomnia.
For acute issues, Will treats conditions like upper respiratory infections, the flu, COVID-19, UTIs, ear infections, strep throat, skin infections, and bronchitis.
Will’s passion, however, lies in preventive care services including providing routine wellness exams, health screenings, weight management, smoking cessation, and women’s and men’s health services. He believes preventative care empowers patients to take control of their health, helping to prevent illness and improve long-term well-being through education and proactive management.
Outside of the office, Will enjoys cooking, playing golf, and playing guitar and singing. An accomplished musician, he still performs live music 15 to 20 times a year around the State of Georgia.
He is an active member of his community and a 2022 graduate of Leadership Georgia, a statewide leadership training program.
His favorite pastime, however, is spending quality time with his wife Dorie and his three children Paulk, Jacob and Juliette.
