Candice Stiller, FNP

The ability to help another person through a wonderful time, like the birth of a child, or a difficult time, like a diagnosis of cancer, makes my job worth doing every day. \n I love making true connections and lasting relationships with my patients and finding better ways to approach and solve problems. Obstetrics and gynecology offer a way to do both. Getting to know you as a whole person makes it easier for me to deliver healthcare that fits the life you lead. \n Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and animals. I am married to a wonderful man and have two amazing twin boys. We live on 14 acres where we keep two horses and three dogs. I love being surrounded by the unconditional love of my animals. I am also a big fan of live theater and visit New York City at least once a year to go to Broadway. Finally, I am an avid reader, and I always like to hear about what my patients are reading.

When I was young, I was fortunate to have a neighbor, a surgeon, who took on the role of mentoring me. I learned about his work and became interested in the medical field. In college, I worked in the operating room of my local hospital where I got to observe various procedures and became particularly interested in urology. Kidney stones were especially fascinating to me. This is what led me to urology as a specialty. \n Listening to my patients is one of the most important things I do. My goal is to work with them to understand their concerns, consider all treatment options and then exercise shared decision-making so together we can plan the best course of action. Whatever we choose, I will be as hands-on and involved in every part of their care as necessary. \n I am proud of my more than three decades of service at Novant Health Rowan Medical Center, and of my role on the board of the Novant Health Rowan Medical Center Foundation. Being active in and available to serve my community has always been one of my highest priorities. \n My wife and I have three daughters, and we are excited to be transitioning into our roles as grandparents. When I am not working or spending time with my family, you can find me outside; I love all outdoor activities.
