Nicola Carlisle, MD - Optum-Mill Creek

Human beings are complex and their health is equally so. I enjoy working with patients to unravel their health issues to ease their suffering especially when it involves looking beyond a simple solution. I believe both patient and physician must work together to achieve this goal.

I believe in treating each patient as if they were a family member and spending the time necessary to understand their gastrointestinal medical issues completely. Doing what is in the best interest of my patients is always my most important priority. I will always strive my best to create a treatment plan that my patients understand clearly and are comfortable with.

I have worked in Dermatology since 1998 and it remains a vibrant, interesting, wonderful area of practice. Patients bring all of themselves to every visit. My hope is that through quality dermatological care, we can improve quality of life, across the board. My goal as a nurse practitioner is to help people be the best they can be, in spite of any diagnosis they may have. Success is working together to find creative, thoughtful, effective solutions for my patients' skin concerns.
