Adult nurse practitioner Jeffrey Bialobok has joined the CHP Adams Internist practice, where he is now accepting adult patients.
Most recently practicing in Scottsdale, Ariz., Bialobok earned both his bachelor's degree in nursing and his master's degree in nursing from Arizona State University.
He has worked extensively as a nephrology nurse practitioner, focusing on patients with kidney disease, cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary disease, heart failure, hypertension, diabetes and other chronic conditions.
