Welcome Kelly Paparella, our new Nurse Practitioner
Dr. Simmons is pleased to announce the addition of Kelly Paparella, FNP-C to our growing practice. Kelly Paparella is a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 5 years of experience providing primary care to children and adults. Nurse Practitioners diagnose and treat illnesses, and are able to order and interpret tests, write prescriptions, and do many common in-office. NPs have a unique focus on wellness and preventative care, and like to work in partnership with their patients, just as I do.
Dr. Simmons has seen increasing growth and has finally reached a point where we needed additional help in order to serve our patients. I conducted a thorough search and I am really excited we found Kelly. She starts seeing patients Monday, August 3rd and has already been an amazing addition. I’ve had great feedback from patients who have seen her. She is friendly, funny and very down to earth. Kelly handles the whole range of primary care problems in adults and children. Initially, she will be available to see same-day sick visits, but as her own practice grows, she will help patients manage complex disease states in addition to typical well care. She is well trained in women’s health and has a special interest in developmental disabilities and diabetes management.
With the addition of a new provider, existing patients may worry that they won’t be able to see me anymore. One of the common complaints I’ve heard about other practices is that “I never got to see the doctor.” We are committed to maintaining access to me. In fact, this is one of the driving forces for bringing in a new provider. This allows us to keep wait times for appointments at a steady state. If you want to see me in clinic, you will be able to – just be sure to schedule your well visits at least a month in advance. Kelly will be available to those who want to get in more quickly or have an urgent need when I am unavailable.
Dr. Simmons will continue to see patients, but now early morning appointments are available to be seen by Kelly. Kelly is currently in the office four days a week, 8 AM - Noon Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and Wednesday 1 PM – 5PM and will be here whenever I am gone.
We are so excited for the future of our practice. Please join us in welcoming Kelly Paparella to our practice. She is a great addition!
