Suzanne Black is a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. Driven by curiosity and an appreciation of the sciences since childhood, Suzanne has taken a unique educational and professional pathway into medicine and wellness. She completed her BA in Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara followed by impactful work in cultural resource management, research and environmental consulting. However, a deep seated desire for meaningful human connection led her to transition to nursing, drawn to its holistic approach to patient care and tenets of health promotion and disease prevention.After obtaining a BS and MS in Nursing at Columbia University in 2016, where she specialized in Family Health and HIV Medicine, she embarked on a career in primary care at one of the more underserved community health centers in Manhattan. Despite the rewarding nature of her work, she felt compelled to seek a role where she could dedicate more time and resources to optimize patient wellness.Always eager to expand her professional expertise, she transitioned to a role in colorectal surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, specializing in treatment of GI cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, IBS and pelvic floor dysfunction. Here, she excelled in recognizing the comprehensive needs of her patients, understanding that health optimization extends beyond surgical interventions and requires a multidisciplinary and humanistic approach to wellness and survivorship.
