Experienced Physician Assistant dedicated to patient care and clinical excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Physician Assistant with extensive experience in various healthcare settings, including emergency rooms and urgent care clinics. My journey in healthcare began with a nursing degree, which laid the foundation for my clinical skills and patient-centered approach. Over the years, I have honed my abilities in patient assessment, treatment planning, and clinical protocol development, ensuring high-quality care for my patients.
At Telemate Health, I have successfully educated patients about their conditions and prescribed medications, contributing to significant revenue growth by onboarding new clients. My role at Firefly Health further emphasizes my commitment to comprehensive patient care, where I obtain medical histories, prepare treatment plans, and instruct patients and families on medication and treatment instructions. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am passionate about improving patient outcomes through effective communication and clinical expertise.
