Katie Akers, APN, FNP-C

Gastroenterology

Practices In: Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg
Patients Seen: Ages 18+
My goal of prac­tice is to deliv­er evi­dence-based care while facil­i­tat­ing a sense of com­fort, con­fi­dence, and sat­is­fac­tion with­in every patient. I believe any treat­ment plan can only be effec­tive if it is under­stood by, and accept­able to, the patient. My hope is to make patients feel com­fort­able dis­cussing what may be per­son­al, sen­si­tive top­ics which can heav­i­ly impact qual­i­ty of life. With all of the above in mind, I hope that a strong rela­tion­ship can be estab­lished and maintained.
