December employee Spotlight: Gloria Harper
Many of you know her already but an official welcome to Gloria Harper our amazing new nurse practitioner on the team who started with last summer.
Gloria is a board-certified family nurse practitioner with deep expertise in caring for patients with complex neurological conditions, including Chiari malformation, tethered cord, arachnoid cysts, hydrocephalus and shunt-dependent disorders.
Dr. Harper earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Arizona and brings over a decade of high-acuity clinical experience from leading healthcare institutions. She is deeply committed to delivering patient-centered, evidence-based neurosurgical care and ensuring that every patient feels informed, supported, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.
She provides comprehensive pre- and post-operative management and support patients through evaluation, surgery and long-term follow-up.
