Reinaldo Gonzalez La Portilla APRN, MSN, FNP-C

As a Nurse Practitioner (NP), I am honored to illuminate the paths of healthcare with compassion, expertise, and a commitment to holistic healing. With a fervent dedication to patient-centered care, a thirst for knowledge, and a passion for advocacy, I embrace the multifaceted role of an NP with enthusiasm and purpose.

Personal Background: My journey into nursing and advanced practice nursing was ignited by a profound desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. From a young age, I was drawn to the nurturing aspect of healthcare and the opportunity to provide comfort and support to those in need. This intrinsic drive, coupled with a thirst for knowledge and a compassionate heart, set me on the path to becoming a Nurse Practitioner.

Education and Training: Armed with a solid educational foundation, I embarked on a journey of academic and professional growth to fulfill my aspiration of becoming an NP. I pursued advanced education through a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program from Universidad del Turado in Puerto Rico , which equipped me with the expertise and knowledge necessary to excel as a Nurse Practitioner.

Professional Experience: With 8 years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner, I have had the privilege of serving patients across diverse clinical settings. In each role, I have embraced the opportunity to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care, collaborating closely with healthcare teams to optimize outcomes and promote wellness. I have been part of various clinical trials as a sub- investigator at Urology Research Network. I am a member of the American Association of Nurse Practioners and the American Academy of Nurse Practioners. I practice as a urological consultant at Palmetto General Hospital, Larkin Hospital, Jackson West Medical Center, Coral Gables Hospital, and Mercy Hospital. Although I practice General Urology, I am most passionate about Endourology and the diagnosis and management of kidney stone disease. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. Whether conducting assessments, diagnosing conditions, or prescribing treatments, I approach every patient interaction with empathy, integrity, and a commitment to excellence.

As a Nurse Practitioner, I am privileged to walk alongside patients on their healthcare journey, striving to make a positive impact in their lives each day. Grounded in compassion and driven by a commitment to excellence, I remain steadfast in my dedication to upholding the values of integrity, compassion, and advocacy that define the essence of being a Nurse Practitioner.

"In the tapestry of healthcare, Nurse Practitioners are the threads of compassion, knowledge, and healing. With every patient encounter, we weave a story of hope, resilience, and transformation, illuminating the path to wellness with empathy and expertise"
