Robert Wiltberger, ACNP-BC

I initially started in medicine as a paramedic in 2004 and then decided to further pursue my education and became a registered nurse. I served inthe U.S. Army as a flight nurse and spent most of my military career traveling the world and working in some of the best trauma facilities in the world. I left active duty and joined UNC Rex Hospital in 2013 as a RN in the medical surgical intensive care unit (MSICU) and graduated from nurse practitioner school at Duke in 2017. I joined the intensive critical unit (ICU) team and had the pleasure of working alongside some of the best physicians in this field. In 2023, I left the ICU to work with Rex Hospital Pulmonary as a provider in the outpatient clinic. Outside of work, I enjoy my wife and two sons and my primary passion for myself is racing triathlons.

I chose to become a doctor to make a difference in people's lives through comfort and healing, to stand by them through challenges and adversity, and to serve communities that need care. I believe in a multidisciplinary and team based approach to medicine, with the goal of providing comprehensive, high-quality and evidence based urologic care for my patients. Urologic patients often represent a vulnerable population with a wide spectrum of complex medical issues. Patient education and compassionate care delivered in the context of a patient’s overall health and goals is therefore paramount. I believe in using the most advanced and novel techniques to address some of the most challenging patient conditions. I consider being a surgeon a privilege, and will always advocate for my patients and ensure that they are an active member of the healthcare team. When I am not at work, I enjoy exercising, weight training, hiking, sports, traveling and spending time with my family and friends.
