Arlene started her career as a registered nurse before deciding to become an advanced practitioner. “Working in a hospital as a registered nurse I would only see patients for a few days,” she explains. “I became a nurse practitioner because I wanted to get to know my patients better, learn more about their problems, and understand if the reason for their admission could have been prevented. One reason I enjoy being a nurse practitioner is because it allows me to get more involved in my patient’s health.”
Arlene says she enjoys being involved in all different aspects of a person’s healthcare and has a special interest in women’s health, trans health, and working with family members of all ages. “My philosophy of care is to get to know my patients so I can better work with them and help achieve their overall health goals.”
In her free time Arlene loves to spend time outdoors with her daughter, husband and their dog exploring new places. They also recently introduced a cat to the family.

She acted immediately with ordering scripts and tests. She also helped me get to xray. I have trouble walking and my husband was getting the scripts before pharmacy closed.
