Introducing Carol McKissock, Nurse
Practitioner
I grew up in the Washington D.C. area and attended college
at the University of Pennsylvania. After
college, I moved to New Jersey and attended Seton Hall College of Nursing.
Twenty eight years of working as a registered nurse at Overlook Hospital in
medical, surgical and emergency medicine assignments prepared me to study for my
Masters in Nursing in Adult Primary Care at Seton Hall .
I received my certification as an Adult Nurse Practitioner in 1998 and
practiced for 10 years in an Internal Medicine/Endocrinology office in
Westfield.. I am now pleased and excited about starting a new relationship and
collaborative practice with Dr Zukoff and Dr Hakim.
My goal is to provide quality compassionate care, working
together to help improve and maintain your good health.
I live with my husband and three children in Berkeley
Heights. I enjoy traveling, reading and attempting to play golf with my husband.
I have also been involved in costume making for the musicals at Oak Knoll School
for the past several years.
