“I love the surgeons that I work with and the significant impact I can have on patients’ quality of life. Every appointment begins with listening to my patients. Then, I make sure that I address every concern and question. After surgery, I enjoy visiting my patients and hearing about their improvement — it’s truly satisfying and I feel thankful for my job every day.”

“I was inspired to pursue neurosurgery because of its potential to restore function and quality of life. The nervous system is fascinating and I enjoy connecting with patients. Some have lived with chronic pain for years and helping to restore their quality of life is immensely rewarding. Above all else, I want to give my patients hope and confidence for the future.”

Sarah Carlson, PA-C
“I always knew I wanted to work in a surgical specialty, and I started as a medical assistant. I enjoyed being able to participate in the relief of someone’s pain. Now, as a physician assistant, I’m able to play a more direct, primary role in both conservative management and surgical intervention, when it’s appropriate. It’s a joy and a reward to be able to help people see improvement in their comfort and mobility. It’s why I do this.”
