Kyra Cox

I'm an NCCPA-certified Physician Assistant and recent PLNU graduate, licensed in California, with a strong interest in both medical and procedural care. I'm passionate about lifelong learning, evidence-based practice, and patient advocacy through strong patient-provider relationships, shared-decision making, and education. In this new role, I'm excited to collaborate with physicians and fellow APPs to provide high-quality care to my community.
