Nate works jointly with Dr. Joshua Port as a Physician Assistant. “Working in orthopedics has been very rewarding for me. You cannot cure hypertension or diabetes, but you can repair a shoulder or knee and return the patient to an active lifestyle. When a patient relays that they have attained their goals following surgery or treatment, I am pleased to be working in this field”.
Nathan grew up in Johnstown, PA, attended Central Cambria High School and now resides in Ebensburg with his wife, Nikki, and son, Brock. His hobbies include snowmobiling, outdoor recreation, water sports and spending time with his family.
