Frequently Asked Questions
| What is a “CNP” and how does he/she differ from the “MD’s?” | |
| CNP means Certified Nurse Practitioner, and in many ways is able to diagnose and treat your medical needs much as your Physician does. In fact, your CNP is truly an extension of your Physician in that she treats patients under the authority and established protocols of your Physician. Your Certified Nurse Practitioner has advanced academic training and clinical experience enabling her to manage most common and many chronic illnesses with additional authority, to prescribe medications, and serve as your primary care provider. | |
