“I discovered my passion for cardiac medicine as soon as I entered nursing school.”
Care Philosophy:
Summer believes in creating open and safe lines of communication between the provider and
all involved, allowing for a clear understanding of the plan of care and treatment options.
Patient care should have a multidisciplinary approach, that includes both the patient and their
families being active participants, ultimately resulting in the best possible outcome.
Medical Specialty:
Summer has over nine years of nursing experience in various facets of cardiology working as a
CVICU registered and charge nurse; as an open-heart recovery nurse; with patients with balloon
and Impella heart pumps; with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) patients and other
highly critical patients. Although Summer’s main focus is cardiology, she still continues to
provide support as a critical care transport nurse for Guardian Air Transport.
Professional Achievements:
Summer received her master's degree in nursing, with honors, and her post-master’s
certification as a family nurse practitioner from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. She is
certified as a family nurse practitioner with the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners
(AANP), a certified member of the American Academy of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) and a
member of the Preventative Cardiovascular Nurses Association (PCNA).

Best possible experience Summer provided exceptional care
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/29/2026
Summer was very nice and personable. I could tell she sincerely cared about my care by going through all the test results, she had very good explanations and metaphors to illustrate the info. When recommending treatments she shared her personal experiences which instilled confidence. I felt so reassured and came away with a positive outlook. The whole interaction gave me confidence in the future treatment, easing the thought of another ablation. Her sharing her personal experiences also enabled me to have faith that I can do what is needed. Also, she gave me a list of resources, including www.cholesterolconnect.org which I passed onto my sister.

I died twice , and have a lot of questions, fears, and not much understanding of heart attacks. Summer rushed me by saying when I said I had questions she said well I have two other patients that I need to get to. We were there early by at least 25 min. I left feeling more scared, and hopeless for the future. I felt like a number not a person. No care or concern whatsoever
