"As a nurse practitioner, I believe in providing individualized, high-quality and compassionate care that goes beyond treating symptoms," said Susan. "I strive to understand each patient’s unique circumstances and foster strong provider–patient relationships built on trust, collaboration and education. "My path to healthcare was inspired by personal experiences watching family members face serious illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. Witnessing both the challenges of treatment and the need for compassionate care motivated me to deliver patient-centered, comprehensive care that addresses the whole person. "For the past three years, I have worked extensively in pain management procedures and am eager to expand into the patient care side of this specialty, focusing on helping adults 18 and older meet their long-term health goals. I am committed to excellence, lifelong learning and collaborating with colleagues to ensure the best possible outcomes for my patients."
