Center for Gynecology & Women’s Health
Our center is fortunate to have the services of highly qualified and experienced nurse practitioners who, along with our doctors,
help to manage both our patients and our practice. These professionals see patients for regular office visits, both independently and with our physicians.
Also among areas of duty and special focus of our certified, registered nurse practitioners (CRNPs) are: teen health, continence/urodynamics/pelvic
muscle function, breast health, and laser services. Our nurse practitioners serve as a vital resource for patient education and counseling. Just as our medical and office staff does, these CRNPs consider it their job to be there for patients, with answers to questions
and ready availability of care.
Our nurse practitioners:
