CDMS welcomes Carrie Ponte, NP to the staff
Increasing access for established patients with acute care needs
CDMS is pleased to share that we have a new nurse practitioner to facilitate easier access for our established patients in our Rockport office.
Ms. Ponte, NP has most recently been working in a local urgent care role. Previously she had been working as a hospitalist in the inpatient setting. Since joining CDMS in January 2023, she has been training with Dr. Lavigne with the ultimate goal of helping to address the urgent skin concerns of established CDMS patients.
We know that availability of urgent appointments has been a challenge given how underserved our area is and we hope that expanding same week or even same day availability will help put patients more at ease.
Ms. Ponte works closely with Dr. Lavigne to determine the best direction for both diagnosis and treatment of the acute dermatologic concerns for patients who have already been established with CDMS.
In addition, Ms. Ponte will be helping expand some core cosmetic services to our established patients as well.
If you are a current patient and have an acute skin concern, you are welcome to call the office to schedule a visit with Ms. Ponte, NP.
