Lara Eileen Shirk, APRN-CNP

I'm most passionate about forming ongoing relationships with people in family medicine. I love being around people, connecting with people and helping people. Seeing patients reach their health care goals is the most gratifying part of practicing medicine for me.

It is humbling to know that I am among the first people my patients will call when they aren't feeling their best. When people are sick, they can feel helpless. It is rewarding to be able to provide comfort and answers during their time of need.

I am passionate about the Norman community, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to take care of my neighbors. My hope is that my patients feel like I understood them, that all their needs were addressed and that I treated them like my own family.
