Care Philosophy
I give my full attention to each patient and strive to deliver expert care for their individual needs. I started in the medical field in 2012 and began working within the Surgical Weight Loss Department as a Nurse Navigator in 2017. During this time, I discovered a passion for caring for patients on their weight loss journey. To best serve patients, I went on to become a Family Nurse Practitioner board certified through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). In addition to my role as a FNP, I manage the program's accreditation, which includes oversight of policies, procedures, and program compliance.
Specializing In
Bariatric Surgery, Weight loss and Metabolic Surgery
