My name is Tessandra Gulbranson. I have been a Nurse Practitioner since October of 2015. I have been working with Regional Orthopedics since August of 2016. I work primarily in the Pain Management Dept. where I examine, diagnose, treat, and order appropriate interventional procedures. I perform certain procedures myself. I have extensive experience treating various orthopedic conditions. I enjoy working in this field.

Susan is a board-certified physician assistant with a Master of Science degree from Rutgers University. She joined Regional Orthopedics with years of valuable experience in pain management. Susan brings a breadth of clinical experience having worked in orthopedics, family medicine and bariatric medicine. She was also employed as a physician assistant at Joint Base-Fort Dix assessing United States soldiers for deployment readiness. 

My name is Heather Forgash. I graduated from Thomas Jefferson University with my family practice nurse practitioner degree in 2018. I worked as an RN for almost 10 years in the ER, a subacute rehab, and ICU. After graduating from APN school I started working in orthopedics and pain management and have loved it ever since. I am married to my best friend and we just had our first daughter Stella January 2021.

My name is Rebecca Romano. I recently graduated from Rowan University with my Family Nurse Practitioner degree in 2022. Prior to becoming a Nurse Practitioner, I worked in both med-surg and an ICU step-down unit for eight years. During my clinical rotations for APN school, I had the chance to shadow the providers at Regional Orthopedic. Shortly after my rotations, I sparked an interest in orthopedics and pain management and knew it was something I wanted to pursue. When I'm not at work I enjoy hanging out with family, friends and my Saint Bernard, Bailey.
