Anthony Pho, NP
Internal Medicine
Why I went into medicine?
As an ER nurse I worked with many patients in acute distress. While this was gratifying, I often wished I had the opportunity to help manage chronic health problems earlier. As a nurse practitioner, I enjoy working in internal medicine because I have more time to get to know and work with patients to promote their health.My philosophy approach to medicine?
I enjoy the diversity of my patients that come from all walks of life. I take time to listen to patients and I love to answer questions. I want patients to understand their care and how to maximize their lives. I like finding solutions for my patients that are simple, practical and cost-effective.
