Meet our Women First Midlevel Team

Our midlevel team consists of five nurse practitioners and one physician assistant, all of whom play an integral role in your patient care at Women First. Partnering with the physicians, our midlevels can provide much of the routine follow-up care you may require, and they often are the health care providers should you need a same day appointment. Our midlevels see their own established patients for annual exams and follow-up, as well as problem visits. Some of our midlevels specialize in lactation counseling services and the evaluation and treatment of recurrent vulvovaginal problems, providing invaluable services that help us achieve the full circle of care for our patients. Women First…in all we do.
