Kelsey Ann Cole, DNP

I've always liked helping people. I started as an EMT and enjoyed what I did there but wanted to further that by going to medical school. Throughout medical school, I ended up finding that surgery appealed to me because I could use my hands which I've always been good with and help people. I treat my practice as a friendship. I'm there as an advocate and a friend. I know it can be scary, but I try to use my training and years of experience to educate my patients.

I originally came from Mississippi where there wasn't adequate access to healthcare, and I've had several family members who have had cancer and had to travel for care. I became a physician assistant to try and bridge the gap to access to healthcare. When I was in high school was diagnosed with a brain tumor so it's been close to my heart to help cancer patients anyway I can. I want patients to know that everything we do for them is what we would do for our own family members and that we will go above and beyond to make sure they get everything they need.
