    I rely on NP Harrington for help to coordinate all the facets of my health care needs. She is excellent, dependable, a calming presence.

    Theresa L Harrington-Stukus listened to a non-cancer related concern that I had (persistent blood sugar about 100, even after fasting), and ordered an additional test (a1c) on my blood that was already taken. She advised me to speak with my primary care provider and she followed up with a message via the patient portal. I greatly appreciate her listening and responsiveness.
