My Primary Health Care Provider is a nurse practitioner, Nancy Turnham, CRNP and she is amazing. She is dedicated, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. I have been her patient for about 12 years now and have the greatest confidence in her ability to provide the best medical care to me. I prefer to see nurse practitioners because they see the whole patient and treat the whole patient. They don’t just see the person in room 8 with arthritis or heart disease. They see patients as people with medical problems that will ultimately impact their entire person. This impact can be on their social life, financial aspect of life, religious and dietary. I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate her for being the best PCP that a patient could have. At times, she is unavailable and I will see one of the other NPs who are also fabulous. There are times when I must see one of the physicians, and am also happy with the care provided, but I do feel rushed a bit and recognize that only the problem at hand is of concern to them, not the far reaching implications on my life that the problem can and will have. Overall, I would recommend this medical practice to anyone, but would strongly encourage having a nurse practitioner as your primary care provider.
