Nicole Michele Otero, PAC

I aim to treat patients with compassion, empathy, and respect as I would want a family member or friend to be cared for. To give patients care that provides the best outcomes. I believe listening to patients to give them a voice is key to easing concerns, educating, and gaining trust.

I strive to work closely with all of my patients to create a personalized treatment plan that allows them to return to a healthy and active lifestyle.

My practice is designed with patients at the center. Our team is always focused on each patient. My goal is to educate each patient about their issues such that they can make the best decisions possible. Most spine-related issues will resolve with education, nonsurgical treatment and time. When a surgical solution is offered, I will walk each patient through the surgical plan and give them the tools they need to have the best possible outcomes. My surgical approach is to recommend the least invasive surgery possible to yield the best results and I frequently utilize motion-preservation procedures, microscopic and minimally-invasive techniques to achieve these goals.
