Nurse Practitioner

A graduate of the University of Massachusetts/Amherst and Regis College, Rachel Berkowitz finds her role as a Nurse Practitioner very fulfilling. “I enjoy getting to know people on a personal level, working with others, and learning new things, and being a Nurse Practitioner allows me to do that,” she explains. “It is truly a privilege to do this job.” Rachel thinks that the best care is given when the patient and provider team together to achieve common, realistic goals. “I have always felt that a common sense of respect, acceptance of personal strengths and challenges, and quality listening yield the best health outcomes for my patients. Most importantly, by creating these interactions, an intimate and honest relationship can be fostered.” In her free time, Rachel enjoys trying new types of cuisine. She also loves traveling and exploring new places plus spending time with her husband and English bulldog Bella.

Physician Assistant

A graduate of Stonehill College and MCPHS University, Alli has been a practicing physician assistant since 2010. Alli has always been interested in emergency medicine and urgent care, ever since she first watched some medical TV shows when she was younger. In her work at ReadyMED, Alli strives to make her patients feel at ease. “No one wakes up in the morning and wants to be sick or injured and spend their day in the doctor’s office, ER or urgent care center,” she explains. “That’s why I work hard to make people feel better and take care of their injury. For me, it’s incredibly satisfying to help someone and put a smile on their face at the same time.” In her spare time Alli enjoys being with family and friends. She also enjoys all things Disney, running, skiing and playing softball.

Physician Assistant

Jennifer started her career as an RN and later decided to become an advanced practitioner. “I felt I would get more satisfaction by being able to provide a higher level of care for my patients as a physician assistant. I really enjoy diagnosing, treating, and being directly responsible for the management of my patient’s care.”

Jennifer enjoys working in the urgent care field because every day is different. “I really enjoy the fast-paced environment here and the variety of care,” she explains. “Plus I get to do procedures which I really enjoy. When people come here for care they often have an acute need and I enjoy helping them and making an impact. I like that every day is different and you never know what to expect.”

Jennifer tries to approach and treat every patient as if they were a member of her own family. “I always acknowledge patient issues and work to make them feel at ease while providing as much compassion as I can.”

In her spare time Jennifer enjoys traveling and trying new restaurants with her husband. She also enjoys hiking, walking her dogs and being with extended family. She also loves reading and spending summer weekends in New Hampshire.

Nurse Practitioner

Kristen’s medical career began as a medic in the US Army many years ago. Since that time, she has continued to advance her career in medicine. “I realized that by becoming a nurse practitioner I could provide patients with a higher level of care and care for the entire patient, not just their illness.”

Kristen enjoys working in the fast-paced environment of ReadyMED^SM. “Working here I am able to not just care for people but provide the level of service they need when they are sick or injured,” she explains. “Being able to care for others who are having a bad day makes me happy and hopefully improves their day as well.”

For Kristen, providing care is a team sport. “I believe that’s it important to work closely with the patient to provide the holistic level of care that they deserve. Patients frequently need to talk with someone about what they are experiencing – not just have someone tell them what is happening to them.”

In her spare time Kristen loves to complete DIY projects around the house, read a good book and play with her two dogs.
