I am a dedicated family nurse practitioner of 7 years and have 31 years of registered nursing experience. My nurse practitioner specialty is family medicine. As a nurse practitioner, I have had experience working in retail clinics and as a primary care provider, but my goal has always been to open my own practice. I have now, finally, reached that goal. One of my main reasons for desiring to own my own practice is so that I could provide the best possible care to the patients who entrust their healthcare to me without feeling rushed to meet a certain number of visits per day. Although a medical office is also a business and finances must be considered, I do not believe that a patient's healthcare should come second to that. I welcome the opportunity to listen to what my patients have to say and answer any questions they may have.  Passionate and committed to maintaining a personal relationship with those under her care.  Cares about all patients’ complete well-being.
