March 30 is National Doctors’ Day. Wright State Physicians celebrates all of our doctors, for the expert patient care they provide, and dedication to educating tomorrow’s physicians, the medical students and residents at the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine.

“Connecting with patients on a level that builds trust, confidence in your skills, and an assurance that you will be there for them, is essential to patient care.”

“I intentionally spend as much time as necessary with patients, to make sure they understand their disease and my role in being not just their surgeon but their advocate.”

“I was motivated to go into medicine due to a desire to improve the lives of patients, and provide more female faces amongst the physicians who provide that care.”
