A Nurse Practitioner Who Prescribes and Manages Your Care
Tabitha Lustig is a board-certified nurse practitioner. She is able to prescribe medications and manage chronic health conditions.
Managing medications means more than refilling them. Tabitha prescribes and manages medications for the conditions she treats in primary care, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid conditions, COPD and asthma. At your visits, she checks how those medications are working and adjusts them when your health changes.

What Patients Ask About Their Medications
Will Tabitha continue every medication I take now?
Not automatically. At your first visit, Tabitha reviews what you take and talks with you about each prescription. She prescribes for the conditions she treats in primary care.
Can Tabitha look at all of my medications at once?
Yes. Bring every medication you take to your visit, including vitamins and anything over the counter, or bring a complete list.
Does Tabitha try lifestyle changes before medication?
When it’s appropriate, yes. For some conditions, changes to what you eat and how you live are the first step, and medication comes later if it’s needed.
