Meet Phelps' Health New Provider!
Hello! I'm Kristin Knetzer, FNP-C, and I joined Phelps Health as
a certified family nurse practitioner in August 2024. I see adults
18 and over for both acute and chronic pain at the Phelps
Health Pain Management Center, 1050 West 10th Street, Rolla.
Conditions that I commonly see include arthritis, compression fractures,
fibromyalgia, headaches, herniated discs, joint degeneration, shingles,
spinal stenosis and more. I strive to be adaptable, empathetic and
enthusiastic in helping patients find an effective method of pain
relief. The Pain Management Center is a good fit for me because
it allows me to make a meaningful impact on patients' quality of
life. Get to know me and view my education here.
To schedule an appointment with me, please contact your primary
care provider for a reference or call (573) 364-2200
