Advanced practice registered nurse practitioner with 21 years of experience in evaluation, work-up, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up with patients from pediatrics to geriatrics in the family practice setting. In the family practice setting, I work with chronic pain patients who require close monitoring for safe and optimal pain control.
I have seven years of experience collaborating with the supervising physician in a medication-assisted treatment center.
I assist in helping patients maintain sobriety through medication dose adjustments using methadone or buprenorphine. I also provide support and guidance to this population of patients, helping them find CBT in the community in order to develop improved psychiatric stability so they may live an independent, productive lifestyle.
Assessed patients with acute and chronic medical conditions, ordered diagnostic testing, made medical diagnoses, and followed up on patients' plans of care.
