Crystal Guttman, APNP

Providing oncology care to patients during their cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship journey has become a true passion in my life. I provide education so that patients can better understand their diagnosis and plan of care. It is important to me that the patient is an active participant in the discussions and choices that impact their care. I believe patient-provider relationships should be grounded in open and honest communication, compassion, empathy, support and, sometimes, even a little humor.

Getting to know patients and their families has become one of the favorite parts of my job, and it allows me to develop lasting and trusting relationships while delivering holistic care. I’ve learned there are often bigger stressors in patients’ lives than their cancer, and I understand how important it is to help them navigate through the many social and emotional stressors that can accompany a diagnosis. My main concern is being an advocate for you, the patient, and treating your mind, body, and illness. I grew up in northeast Wisconsin and am grateful to bring my passion for oncology to help care for this community.
