We Love Our Patients!
Our Nurse Practitioners
A nurse practitioner (NP) is a nurse who has advanced clinical education and training. NPs share many of the same duties as doctors. They perform physical exams, diagnose and treat diseases and other health conditions, and can prescribe medication. A nurse practitioner must have a graduate-level degree of education. They assist Dr. Webb in surgery and in the clinic setting seeing patients before and after surgery. All decisions made by them have been approved and ran by Dr. Webb. Weekly meetings are held where we discuss patient care, review imaging studies, and discuss upcoming surgeries. They are an integral part of your care and they look forward to meeting you.
