Nicole Lamberson is a Physician Assistant residing in Virginia. She obtained a BS at James Madison University in 2000 and then went on to complete the Master of Physician Assistant program at Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2004. She practiced in Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine settings until severe iatrogenic illness from prescribed psychiatric medication polypharmacy, withdrawal and protracted neurotoxicity left her unable to work.
