Teamwork makes Healthcare work

As any of us who grew up playing sports can attest, there is a lot you can accomplish when you work as a team. Healthcare is no different, and the importance of teamwork in delivering medical care positively affects patient’s outcomes. In a surgical subspecialty, the team dynamic is especially evident. The operating room is an easy example. The success of a procedure depends on teamwork between all members of the OR staff, including nurses, techs, reps, anesthesiologists, surgeons, PAs, and more. Proper communication, specialized knowledge, and swift response times between everyone in the operating room ensures a safe and successful surgery.

Dr. Mulholland has a great team, both in the OR and in the office. Collaboration allows us to deliver the best care for our patients. Each team member is constantly striving to offer the best patient care and positively influence the patient experience.  

Need another example? If you’ve been to our office you’ve probably interacted with our medical assistant, Heather. Heather works in the back office, giving patients orders and referrals, scheduling follow up appointments, working on authorizations, and much much more! She has a cheerful laugh and pleasant demeanor, and always seems to remember your grandchild’s third birthday party you were preparing for after your last visit, or the cruise trip you had planned. How was it? She’ll ask, as she hands you your instructions from your visit with Dr. Mulholland.

We hope that your interactions with Dr. Mulholland and her staff, including Heather, demonstrate how important a patient-centered practice is to us. Our goal is to include patients as part of their care team so that you are better informed about your diagnosis and treatment plan and feel involved in the direction of your care. Always let us know if you have questions about your care or your experience at our office. 

And welcome to the team!
