Richard Ulstad M.S., P.A.-C, CCD

My name is Richard Ulstad, M.S., PA-C, CCD and I am the Physician Assistant to Victor Abraham, MD. My experience includes a Master of Science degree as well as a Certified Bone Densitometrist, and of course my nationally certified Physician Assistant honors.

From a personal perspective, my wife Melissa is also a PA and my sons Jack and Alex attend local schools. Additionally, we recently acquired guardianship of my nephew Timothy who attends Lyceum Academy at New Hanover High School.

I look forward meeting and greeting you in person or by phone (English or Spanish) and helping to alleviate any urological concerns that may arise. More importantly, we want to give you the confidence and assurance of knowing that you will be treated by a top rate medical staff, you will receive comprehensive care and appropriate follow-up.
