Kristina F. Skarbinski, NP, has been a nurse practitioner in the Massachusetts General Hospital Neurointestinal and Motility Center in the Gastrointestinal Department since 2014. Her primary focus is treating patients who have upper GI and swallowing disorders. She is a leader in care coordination for these patients and developed a navigation pathway between surgery and medicine within gastroenterology. In addition, she cares for patients with autism spectrum disorder who also have a motility related gastrointestinal illness. She collaborated with MGH’s Lurie Center to develop a seamless access plan for these patients, which she has continued to develop over the last three years.
