Nicole Hess, APRN-CNP

We have not vetted this clinician.

We hold this record from the federal NPI registry, the public list of everyone licensed to bill for care in the United States. It tells us their name, their specialty and where they practice. That is all it tells us, and it is all you see here.

It does not mean anything is wrong with this clinician. It means we have not checked their license status, whether they follow the guidelines, whether they sell supplements or compounded drugs, or what they say in public. That check is what separates the 2,583 clinicians we do list from the rest of the registry.

Asking puts them in the queue to be checked. We list a clinician only if they pass, and we never say why someone did not. Being vetted is free and cannot be bought. Featured placement is optional, and it never changes who passes.
