This week, we proudly celebrate Nurse Practitioner Week—and we are especially grateful for our two incredible NPs, Jaime Williams and Emily Skrok.

Their expertise, dedication, and compassion are felt by every patient who walks through our doors. They go above and beyond each day—providing exceptional care, offering reassurance during stressful moments, and bringing comfort, knowledge, and strength to every encounter.

Jaime and Emily, thank you for the countless ways you support our patients, our team, and our practice. Your commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care makes an extraordinary difference, and we’re so fortunate to have you as part of our family.

Please join us in celebrating and thanking them for all that they do! 🤍

‼️Important Announcement‼️

This week, Sveva Brown, MD will be covering call for our office. I want to personally reassure our patients that this decision was made with great care and confidence. Dr. Brown is an experienced and compassionate physician whose approach to patient care aligns closely with our own. I fully trust her to provide the same exceptional, attentive care that you would receive from myself or Dr. Kauffman.

While it is not typical for me to step away from work, I believe that family is just as important as the patients we serve. I am grateful for the opportunity to spend some time with my daughter this week.

Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to place your trust in our team.

Best regards,

Christopher A. Rumsey, DO
