Erin L Cataen, CNP

My mission is to deliver patient centered, high quality medical care regarding conditions of the endocrine system to patients within the South Shore Health community.

My advanced nurse education and experience has allowed me the knowledge and expertise to deliver top-notch, evidence based medical care to my patients. My background includes registered nurse experience within cardiac, medical and surgical specialties at Massachusetts General Hospital, Beth Israel Lahey Health and other hospital systems while travel nursing. As I continued to advance my career, I enrolled in the University of Massachusetts Boston nurse practitioner program. Following successful completion of my master’s degree in nursing and family nurse practitioner program, I gained experience in an ambulatory care clinic treating acute illnesses of individuals in all phases of their life.  I then went on to practice at Beth Israel Lahey Health-Plymouth Endocrinology specialty group for more than 7 years.  Throughout this time, I have become passionate and highly skilled in guiding patients in the self-management of conditions of the endocrine system that include Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Gestational Diabetes, hypothyroidism among others. I have assisted patients in achieving positive outcomes, weight loss and overall improved quality of life. As I continue to strive to improve my clinical knowledge and patient care within the endocrinology specialty, I balance home life with my amazing husband and 2 young boys.

My personal interests are exercising at Orange Theory, reading about investing and finance, listening to podcasts, travelling, exploring different cuisines, Spanish language development and being a good role model for my 2 beautiful boys.
