Jennifer Polatchek, AGPCNP, NY | Nurse Practitioner

About Jennifer Polatchek

I am Jennifer Polatchek, DNP, an Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner with experience in primary care, cardiology, long-term care, and nursing education. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Northeastern University and completed post-master's nurse practitioner training at the College of Staten Island. I provide in-office and telemedicine visits, including initial and follow-up assessments. I review diagnostic results, adjust treatment plans based on clinical findings, and help patients address urgent health needs. My experience includes caring for patients with heart failure, supporting recovery after cardiothoracic surgery, and managing health concerns in long-term care facilities. I also evaluate implanted cardiac devices and educate patients and families about their function and care. My approach is attentive, collaborative, and grounded in clear communication. I take time to listen to each patient's concerns, explain findings and treatment options, and develop a plan that reflects their health needs and goals. My years as a bedside nurse and clinical educator have shaped the way I work with patients and healthcare teams. I aim to help patients understand their care, respond to changes in their health, and feel supported through each stage of treatment.
