Nurse Practitioners of North Shore Oncology

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are nurses with a master’s degree who work closely with your physician to manage your health care. NPs have the education and expertise to perform physical exams, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and prescribe medication.

At North Shore Oncology, our NPs provide follow up care, patient education and counseling, and symptom management under the direction of the physician.
