CSFA with 19 years of experience in a multi-specialty role including all specialties with the exception of eyes. Advanced laparoscopic and robotic cases are definitely favorites,however my passion is General and Vascular.
My purpose and focus is to help improve the surgical outcome and quality of life for every patient that I care for.
My colleagues have described me as a level-headed healthcare professional, who remains calm and effective in extremely difficult and stressful situations,and a team player.
I am a patient advocate and also an advocate for everyone on my OR team. Excellence and accountability are key when it comes to preparation for a case and performance intra-operatively.
