About Arnaldo Vivanco

About The Provider

Arnaldo Vivanco, NP-C, is a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in the treatment of conditions affecting the ear, nose and throat. He cares for adolescents and adults with a wide range of conditions including chronic sinusitis, nasal congestion, hearing loss, chronic ear infections, hoarseness, and head and neck cancers.

Vivanco was inspired by his grandmother, a nurse in the early- to mid-1900s. At the age of 15, Vivanco began volunteering through the American Red Cross and discovered his desire to help individuals facing acute illness and medical emergencies. Through his volunteer work, Vivanco met several mentors who encouraged his education in healthcare.

“Relieving patients of discomfort, pain and improving their quality of life helps drive my passion for practicing medicine,” Vivanco explains.

Originally from Delhi, California, Vivanco enjoys spending his free time hiking, camping, flying airplanes, rescuing dogs and completing the occasional triathlon.
