Nurse Practitioner
I have been working with Samuel Rodgers for over a year, but have been a practicing Nurse Practitioner for 7 years. I have worked with pediatrics my entire career and I love getting to know my families here and welcoming a new sibling. I have two children of my own. Jackson who is 8 and Cooper who is 5 so I can relate with many of the struggles my families go through. I love what I do, and I hope it shows to my patients. I know that in primary care it can be difficult to find a provider who you feel listens to your concerns and advocates for you. I hope to be that voice for my patients and someone who they enjoy coming to see each visit. Having a sick child can be a very scary time for parents and I hope to be the one who can ease of their fears and trust that I will do everything I can to make them feel better.
