Our Staff
CTSG Nurses
The Registered Nurses (RNs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) of our practice are
extensively skilled, highly motivated individuals who help maintain the team
approach to health care philosophy that CTSG firmly stands by.
When a patient is referred to CTSG for our health care services, whether it is
for an operation or merely a consultation, our Nursing staff is present every
step of the way. Not a day goes by where our nurses are not establishing their
caregiving presence at hospitals all over Southeastern Wisconsin. From check-in
to check-out, and at any point afterwards where a patient feels they need to
have a follow-up appointment, the CTSG nurses are here to make sure that each
and every doctor-patient relationship receives equal attention and care.
