Why Did You Choose Pediatrics?:
I have always had such a strong passion for helping others, an interest in the medical field and love for children. I began my career as a Critical Care RN at Children’s Hospital helping sick children and families in the NICU, PICU, and ER. My love and passion for helping children only grew and I knew I wanted more. Becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner has given me the greatest opportunity to care for children and their families and help them as they grow throughout their lives. It is a dream come true and a true joy.

Dear Patient,
We wanted to reach out to clear up some confusion regarding the recent letter you may have received from Independent Health. The letter mentioned that your current Primary Care Physician (PCP), Dr. Wang, Dr. Schamann, and Dr. Marfurt, will no longer be participating with Independent Health. This is due to their upcoming retirement at the end of the month.
We want to assure you that our office still accepts your insurance, and another provider at your office would be happy to take over your care.
Did you recieve this letter?
