  • Victoria Serpico is a board-certified nurse practitioner (APRN) within the Division of General Surgery. She received her Master’s degree and nurse practitioner certification at the University of Utah. In 2008, Ms. Serpico joined the division with a specialty in the area of breast surgery and diseases. Ms. Serpico provides comprehensive care for those patients with breast cancer, benign breast disease, and surgical patients.

    Ms. Serpico has an educational background that includes women’s health, nutrition, emergency and surgical nursing. She also is instrumental in educating nurses, advanced practice clinicians, medical students, and residents in treating benign breast disease and the surgical breast oncology patient. She also participates in research and program development.

    Ms. Serpico spearheaded development of the breast cancer educational video in collaboration with Dr. Neumayer, which led to hospital wide implementation of this method of patient education. She has publications in the American Journal of Surgery and The American Surgeon and is currently the primary investigator in a project to develop a pain protocol to enhance the hospital experience for patients undergoing breast surgery.

    Ms. Serpico feels that the work she has done is especially rewarding as it allows for so many opportunities to improve the quality of patients’ lives that are undergoing treatment for breast cancer and survivorship.

    She is always very helpful and informative.

    I was disappointed that the provider seemed to want to play catch up in clinic with my appointment for the day. The whole first half of my visit with the history felt as if she did not understand why I was referred to the department and it was only after the physical exam (halfway through the appointment) that I felt she truly understood my reason for my visit. I only had a few questions (maybe 3), but I felt like I really had to push to squeeze my questions in before she wanted to leave the room to her next appointment. I will see her for the follow up only because I do not want to have to go through another provider for the follow up.
