Siena Sorrentino

I'm passionate about patient care and thrive in collaborative healthcare settings. I've developed strong clinical skills while maintaining a genuine commitment to understanding each patient's unique needs. I believe that building trust with patients through active listening and empathy is just as important as technical competence. I work well with multidisciplinary teams and value open communication to ensure a collective alignment in delivering the best possible care. My goal is always to provide compassionate, comprehensive care that addresses the whole person.
