Abigail J. Veltema, CNP, always comes prepared with her patients' test results and a clear understanding of their care history. In early May 2025, after receiving my blood work, I found out my cholesterol was extremely high. I had also visited Urgent Care due to feeling lightheaded. She quickly emailed me with questions, and I shared that I had started juicing to make sure I was getting vegetables daily. I really appreciated her taking the time to follow up.
