Your Caregivers
Our Physicians
Most all of our doctors are all Board Certified, recognizing that they have achieved and maintain the highest standards in their specialty. They also participate in research studies to offer our patients the newest, most effective treatments available. Our physicians work closely with referring physicians to ensure continuity of patient care during all phases of diagnosis, treatment and follow up.
Our Nurses
Our nurses, many of whom are certified in Ambulatory Nursing , play an important role. (They advocate for and coordinate your care with the physician and other members of your healthcare team.) Nursing Staff assist the providers as well as provide patient education and discharge teaching.
Clinical Support Staff
- Physician Assistants: Physician Assistants are trained, licensed health care professionals who can practice medicine with a supervising physician. PAs are mid-level practitioners who can treat patients, prescribe medications and assist in surgeries. They assist physicians and collaborate with other members of the health care team to provide care specific to your needs.
- Nurse Practitioners: Nurse Practitioners are advance practice nurses who work together with your physician to develop and implement a treatment plan specific to your needs. They assist the physicians by initial examination and collection of pertinent information. Then, in collaboration with the medical team, a treatment plan is developed specific to your needs. They work with your physician throughout your treatment to assure continuity of care for you.
- Medical Office Assistants: Medical Office Assistants provide a vast array of duties in Surgical Specialties. They assist nurses and doctors with simple procedures; they obtain authorizations with insurance companies in order to provide coverage for necessary treatments and/or medications; they also record important measurements including your pain level, blood pressure and temperature, as well as complete a comprehensive medication list in order to provide a safe environment.
