Vanessa Orlando

Vanessa Orlando, FNP-BC, earned her Master of Nursing in Family Nurse Practitioner Studies from Hofstra University. She brings more than nine years of experience as a registered nurse in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, where she cared for patients recovering from complex cardiac and thoracic procedures. Her time in the CTICU strengthened her clinical judgment, resilience, and commitment to delivering meticulous, compassionate care in high-acuity settings. Vanessa incorporates this strong critical care foundation into her work in interventional pain management, where she is dedicated to helping patients understand the source of their pain and navigate treatment options with confidence. She is also board certified as a Holistic Nurse, a perspective that deeply informs her approach. Vanessa values treating each patient as a whole person—mind, body, and lifestyle—while creating individualized, sustainable plans that support meaningful and lasting relief. What she finds most fulfilling is partnering with patients to restore function, improve well-being, and enhance their overall quality of life through thoughtful, comprehensive, and compassionate care.
