Liz Larsen N.P. Bio


Liz Larsen is a Utah native, she spent some of her childhood in Provo, moved to Manti during her high school years and now lives in Santaquin. We're not really sure which she calls home, but we're glad she's picked our office to settle down with for a while! She studied audiology and speech/language pathology at BYU and then went to nursing school at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. She became a nurse practitioner after she completed her education at UMKC and has been practicing family medicine for the last 5 years. Her husband Rhett is a licensed clinical social worker, he also currently serves in the Army Reserve. They have two little ones, both busy boys that Dr. Harrison delivered. They are both energetic and full of smiles! Liz claims to be shy, but she loves reality TV, we're wondering if someday she might ditch us to pursue Brett Michaels on yet another season of Rock of Love!!

I don't know what impresses me more about Liz Larsen NP, her medical acumen and expertise or her genuine compassion for the patient's under her care. As a medical practitioner myself (though nowhere near as in-depth) I can attest to how difficult this can be.

It take's a special sort of tenacity to render care to patient's with chronic, unusual conditions and Liz does not shy away from any medical challenge. Instead she considers every option and educates her patient's on the pro's and con's of each possibility before moving forward.

Doctor Harrison and Liz Larsen NP cannot be recommended highly enough. We are looking forward to having our second child under their care and wouldn't go anywhere else. Dr. Harrison is an excellent pediatrician as well as family doctor.

Oh ya - and they also have the greatest staff in Utah County. The nurses and medical assistants are deeply involved in patient care and don't seem to mind when I constantly pester them with medical needs.

CUC Family Medicine is what modern medicine is supposed to be.
