Our Nurse Practitioners

Our division is fortunate to have the services of highly qualified and experienced nurse practitioners who help to manage both our patients and our practice by seeing patients for regular office visits, both independently and with our physicians.  Among their duties, our nurse practitioners also manage the nursing aspects of endoscopy and help to oversee screening activities for conditions such as colon cancer.  These highly trained healthcare professionals serves as a vital resource for patient education and counseling.
