Meet Our GI Cancer Prevention Providers

Jennifer Fijor, ARNP, provides general digestive care. She has over seven years of experience as a gastrointestinal (GI) nurse practitioner with both general GI and GI nutrition.

Jennifer strives to build a relationship with each patient that supports direct communication. She takes the time to understand the patient underlying their disease so she can determine the best approach for treatment. She also spends time educating her patients so they can become invested in their own care, assist in their treatment plan and develop realistic expectations. She wants all her patients to feel heard and validated regarding their concerns and care.
