About

I am a board certified nurse practitioner with particular interest in lung, breast, skin and lymphoma cancers. I joined the Emory Healthcare Radiation Oncology team from Florida where I worked for over 8 years as a Nurse Practitioner in Radiation Oncology at Orlando Health Cancer Institute. I attended the University of Florida where I obtained both my undergraduate and graduate nursing degrees.
I truly enjoy being part of the Emory Radiation Oncology team and look forward to continuing my oncology career in Atlanta. I believe that as providers in oncology, we have a unique opportunity to have the greatest impact on patient care during one of the most challenging periods of time in their lives. I am very fortunate to have a great support team here at Emory and look forward to serving this community.
My family and I enjoy all outdoor extracurricular hobbies including mountain biking and hiking throughout the Southeast. Our favorite areas include northern Georgia and North Carolina mountains.My primary location is at Emory Clifton Radiation Oncology Clinic. It is common to see Advanced Practice Providers to manage follow up visits in our clinic and we work closely with the Radiation Oncologist to deliver comprehensive quality in patient care.

The NP, Darrough always listens to my concerns and explains in ways I can understand. No question is a silly question. At this visit she was very accommodating in that she allowed my daughter to be on FaceTime during the visit and she answered her questions, as well.

Nicole is very attentive, listens well, and has obviously reviewed my file before speaking with me. She asks followup questions from previous visits and checks to make sure nothing has changed. She is quick to answer any questions and relays any concerns to Dr. Buckwald. I cannot say enough good things about her and I appreciate her joining with Dr. Buckwald. They are a great team.
