Working in health care was something I always wanted to do. Even as a child, I pretended to be a doctor or a nurse with pets, stuffed animals and dolls. Over the past 18 years that I’ve been a physician assistant, I’ve had the privilege of working with many wonderful patients to treat a variety of health issues. I recommend that all my patients bring their prescription bottles and insurance card to their appointments, and they should arrive a few minutes early to register with the front desk."
