Certified Physician Assistant Joins Beaufort Memorial Express Care

Kristen Vestigo, a certified physician assistant, has joined the clinical team at Beaufort Memorial Express Care & Occupational Health, bringing widely ranging experience in urgent care and family medicine. She treats acute illness and injury in adults and children.

A New Jersey native who grew up on Long Island, N.Y., and in Philadelphia, Vestigo came to the Lowcountry from FastMed Urgent Care in Statesville, N.C. Since 2019 she provided family medicine and urgent care services at the practice, among them managing chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, performing annual physicals, suturing lacerations, placing splints, ordering and interpreting laboratory and imaging tests and administering medications and injections.

Earlier as a physician assistant, she served at Taylor Hospital Rehabilitation Unit in Ridley Park, Pa., where she rounded daily on patients and addressed their medical concerns as needed.

Vestigo holds a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies and a Bachelor of Science in health sciences, both from Philadelphia University.
