GI issues can be pretty personal, so I do my best to make sure my patients are comfortable. I like to remind people that I've heard it all, and I hope they feel like they can talk to me. I want to get to know my patients, but I also want to help them solve their problems as quickly as possible.

I grew up in a very family-oriented atmosphere, with the same values and morals as this community. I?m a member of this community ? I?m contributing to the greater good. My background helps me be personal, relate to my patients, and establish relationships. That?s as important as the general surgical skills I bring to patient care.

The best part about being a nurse practitioner is actually being a nurse practitioner - we have more time to develop relationships and build trust and rapport. As a nurse, I have enough knowledge to answer their questions. A good day's work is being able to allow time for patients to answer their questions and calm their anxieties.
