Hi, my name is Lorraine Gabbard. I'm a nurse practitioner at Womens Care of Bradenton. I've been working with Dr. Jothi for approximately six months. I've been a nurse practitioner since 2023. Prior to that, I worked in long-term care, wound care, and the Blake Hospital Step-down ICU, with a history of women's GYN care as well.

I became a nurse practitioner because I really wanted to help provide quality health care options for women and to help improve women's health overall. I am proud to be a part of this team. Thank you for choosing Womens Care of Bradenton.
