Autumn Bertschinger, DNP, APRN, FNP-C

I was inspired to go into medicine to help patients achieve their health goals and live the best possible quality of life. In my free time I enjoy hiking, reading, and going to the beach.

I manage and treat patients with a wide variety of pulmonary diseases such as chronic cough, pulmonary nodules, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), emphysema, interstitial lung diseases and pleural diseases to name a few. I am well versed in flexible bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and pleural procedures. I really enjoy working with people and being able to take care of others and help make a difference in their lives.

I've worked in the medical field for 30+ years. I shifted my focus to diabetes care in 2010, after realizing many patients with heart and kidney disease also have diabetes. Noticing the lack of support, I went back to school to help improve the lives of these patients. I have vast experience managing all types of diabetes and its complications. I also treat high blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, and thyroid disease. I'm a Certified Trainer and an expert in interpreting continuous glucose monitors and insulin infusion pumps.
