About

Philosophy of care

I believe all patients have the right to understand and make their own health decisions. I will spend time explaining your situation and your treatment options in an easy-to-understand way. By the end of your appointment, you will understand your vascular disease and feel comfortable making health choices. I make recommendations but strongly believe in your right to make your own decisions. When you come to see me, you will get information, not a lecture.

Why I entered medicine

At age 6 I went to work with my mother, an operating room nurse, on Take Your Daughter to Work Day. I had the opportunity to watch an aneurysm repair and never looked back. I've spent my entire life working in hospitals, from candy striping to being a vascular surgeon today. I consider it a great privilege to help people in this way and I'm grateful to my mom for opening this door to me so early.

Community involvement

My family includes several rescue pets, and we are longtime supporters of the organizations that rescued them. Nowadays, we spend most of our time supporting our two young children in their activities.

Personal interests

Most nights after the kids are asleep, you can find me in my quilting studio. My family and I also enjoy biking, travel and museums. My husband is from Ireland, and we travel back with our kids to visit family as often as we can.
