Michele Arocena, PA-C
Brooklyn
Physician Assistant, an advanced practice degree for primary care providers who undergo extensive practical training and board certification, and are licensed to practice medicine including the full range of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
As an expanded care provider with a background in urgent care and general surgery, I believe that creating an open atmosphere where patients feel comfortable sharing their health concerns is vital in providing effective, patient-centered care. I enjoy partnering with my patients, listening carefully to understand their unique experiences and values in order to develop individualized health plans. I am passionate about caring for a broad range of acute conditions and have particular interests in women's health and in-office procedures. Emphasizing education, my goal is to guide patients in feeling empowered to make meaningful decisions about their health. Expanded care providers offer same-day visits for urgent needs in our primary care offices.
How I stay healthy and happy
I love spending time with family and friends, practicing yoga, dancing, and cooking. I explore my creativity by making floral and plant arrangements, crafting, and pursuing new hobbies.
