    Learn more about Nurse Practitioners.

My decision to become a nurse practitioner was driven largely by values instilled by my family and my faith. The personal calling and ambition to help people while pursuing a career that provided happiness and fulfillment was very important. It is wonderful to be part of a profession that focuses on helping others regardless of circumstance and emphasizes promoting healthier lives. I treat every patient as if they are family or friends, being compassionate and efficient, putting their best health interest first, and making them feel comfortable and respected. As a nurse practitioner, I can have an immediate positive impact on the care of my patients.

    The nurse and doctor took the time to ask the right questions and give me the care I needed today. It was a much better well woman's exam than what I have experienced in the past. Thank you for your time today!
