Deborah Hromyak, a certified nurse practitioner, conducts an eye examination on one of her patients, Susan Walters of Austintown. Walters, who has had cancer and heart-valve damage among other medical problems, says she doesn’t think of Hromyak as “not being a doctor. For general medical information, I think she knows as much or more than any doctor I’ve been to.”
