Vikki Presas obtained training at the University of Texas Southwestern, Dallas, and is a National Certification Corporation Board-Certified Women’s Healthcare Nurse Practitioner. She earned her Bachelor of Science, Nursing from South Dakota State University, and is a member of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health, Association of Women’s Health, and Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses.”I went into nursing because I love helping people and I felt that I could make a difference. I am very passionate about my job and enjoy working with women as they progress through different stages in their life. They deserve someone who cares for them and respects them as a whole. Being a breast cancer survivor and Air Force officer/veteran makes me appreciate even more the challenges, difficulties and obstacles women face. My patients know I truly care about them. I never rush them and always give them the time they need.” “I especially like working with teenagers and young adults. I feel that I can make an impact on their future. These groups of people are hungry for knowledge, and they deserve to gain the most accurate information available so they can make appropriate decisions for their future. They deserve someone who cares and respects them, but will not judge them. It is very important to me to listen to them, educate them and together develop the right plan of care.
