Bio
Deborah Chandler is an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) with the Orlando Health Neuroscience Institute. She has provided care for patients in the Orlando area since 1978 and has extensive experience with:
- Outpatient and general neurology
- Providing care for multiple sclerosis
- Providing care for memory disorders

Deborah’s Training
Deborah earned her doctor of nursing practice (DNP) at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. She received her master’s degree in nursing at the University of Florida in Gainesville and her bachelor’s degree in nursing at Florida Southern College in Lakeland. She also is a multiple sclerosis certified nurse (MSCN), with specialized training in the symptoms and treatment of MS, a disease that affects the brain and central nervous system.
About Deborah
One of Deborah’s sisters died of a brain tumor, and another from Alzheimer’s disease. Those experiences help her understand the day-to-day struggles of patients and their families. She knows what resources are available to help people during treatment and uses her knowledge to put the pieces together in solving the puzzle of each patient’s needs.
She is certified as an adult nurse practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Deborah’s professional memberships include the American Academy of Neurology, the American Nurses Association, the International Organization of Multiple Sclerosis Nurses and Sigma Theta Tau, an honor society for nurses.
She has volunteered for United Against Poverty, Christian Service Center and the Family Promise/Interfaith Hospitality Network.
Outside of work, Deborah enjoys golfing, taking walks, reading and gardening.

Why do some Orlando Health physicians not have a patient experience rating?
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions, shown above, from our nationally-recognized Press-Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of Orlando Health.
Ratings may not be present for certain physicians of Orlando Health Physician Group and Orlando Health Physician Associates because:
- The physician has not yet met the minimum number of 30 patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display.
- They may be a researcher or type of provider that does not see patients.
- They may practice in a specialty or office that has not yet implemented the specified surveys used for these ratings.
