Susan Tubens, PA-C, has joined Twin River Health Center’s team, adding primary care to their patient-centered urology and OB/Gyn practices.
In 27 years as a physician assistant, Tubens has cared for patients with medical needs ranging from trauma to ongoing primary care. She and her husband, Gifford Obstetrician/Gynecologist Sean Tubens, moved from Florida to Bethel, Vermont, after searching for a small and friendly community where they could practice medicine and enjoy the outdoors.
Primary care is a special interest of Tubens, who notes that an ongoing relationship with a provider who knows a patient’s health care goals and history can help them stay healthy. A strong believer in preventative medicine, she looks forward to caring for families in the White River community.
Tubens is currently seeing patients at the Twin River Health Center on North Main Street in White River Junction. Call 728-2777 to schedule an appointment today.
