Amy Lorenzo has been a nurse practitioner for over 23 years. Her experience in gastrointestinal surgery is where she has learned to manage complex surgical patients independently.  Additionally, she has great experience from working in a primary care practice for over 15 years,where she saw mostly geriatric patients and managed their acute and chronic illnesses in various settings from their home to the hospital. These two experiences have provided her with a wealth of experience and knowledge that has shaped her into the nurse practitioner she is today.

Amy's goal is to see patients from illness to wellness. She takes pride in Penn Medicine and wants to be sure her patients get the high quality care they expect from Penn Medicine while providing personalized care. She strives to support the patient by managing their emotions and their families while treating their co-morbidities through their surgical journey. Amy also believes strongly in open communication directly with her, and always keeps her phone line open for patients. High quality personal care is her mission.
