Physician Assistant

Nicole Pesce

I am a board-certified physician assistant with a master's degree and additional training in functional and integrative medicine. My experience includes working in the ER and urgent care, witnessing the fragility of life and learning about the potential to prevent much suffering through healthier living and preventive medicine. My subsequent work in general and bariatric surgery opened my eyes to the critical role that nutrition and lifestyle play in the development of metabolic and chronic disease.
