Nicole Vik, MD, MPH

I place high value on continuity of care, which is why I like family medicine.  It allows me to get to know my patients and how their individual situations affect their health.  I believe the patient-physician relationship should be a partnership in which the patient is an active participant in making informed decisions.  I also believe it is important to thoroughly educate patients about their health issues.

Range of Practice

I enjoy caring for people of all ages, from pediatric to geriatric patients.  I particularly enjoy women's health, including prenatal care.
