When asked about her tenure with George P. Pettit, M.D., Inc., Carol states, "I have always had a desire to help people in any way I can, whether I am at work or off-duty. Nursing has provided me an avenue to care for others to the fullest. It is important to me and to all of us at Dr. Pettit's office that we give our patients the absolute best of care. It is a mission with me, as in our practice, that the patient always comes first and total health care is the priority. I believe that is why I enjoy working with Dr. Pettit and staff in my nursing profession. It is very rewarding and I am truly blessed every day."
