Mission & Approach

“After years as a nurse, I wanted to participate in the care of others at a more advanced level. Today, I’m able to combine capabilities and skill as a nurse practitioner with my nursing knowledge and experience in order to be as helpful, useful and effective as possible. I feel I was placed here not merely to care for others but to do it with vigor and dedication.”

    "Dr. Stephanie was great! She understood my needle numbing phobia and was very sure I couldn’t feel any anxiety or pain before she began my procedure so I could relax. I am actually looking forward to my appointment with her for the next step."

    "Wilmington Surgical is amazing. From the minute you walk in the door till you check out everybody is so nice and friendly. I usually get there at least a half hour before my
    appointment. On all of my visits so far, I have been in and out before my scheduled time."
