“I approach patient care with empathy, compassion and complete honesty. Patients need to know and understand any risks and potential benefits of each decision they are making.”

— Nicole

What do you hope it’s like for a patient to work with you?

I personally had to deal with a precancerous condition of the uterus that resulted in a hysterectomy. I know what it is like for physicians not to believe the symptoms or to be told it's normal to be in pain. I feel I can better empathize with people because of these experiences, and I take extra strides to make sure patients are being heard.

While it is not my place to push anyone in a certain direction, it is my role to guide them to their best choice based on their own preferences and beliefs.

Do you have a favorite memory of time with a patient you’d like to share?

I have had many positive moments with patients, but my favorites are the ones where I can heal a problem or tell a patient they are going to be just fine. I have had many patients come to me worried about a bump, lump or lesion. I love it when I can tell them a diagnosis with good treatment outcomes. Alternatively, I like when I get to tell a patient they were right to have a suspicious lump checked out, that they have treatment options available and they are not alone. 

Provider Background

Area of Clinical Practice
Hematology oncology

I am a certified physician assistant who sees patients at the South Lake Union Clinic. I believe everyone should have equal access to care and treatments, and I felt it was time to take my career in a research-driven, academic direction. I would like to participate in the latest treatments and create research projects based on patient resiliency and functionality during treatment.
