Karin Riepe, MSN, ARNP, FNP-BC

Biography

When I am not working, I enjoy cooking, camping, refinishing furniture, and spending time with my family and friends.

Care Philosophy

I use evidenced-based treatment guidelines and include the patient and employer in the treatment plan.

Area of Interest

I specialize in caring for injured workers, but I also have an interest in communicable diseases, such as treatment of patients with blood-borne pathogens and patients with COVID-19 who have persistent symptoms.
