We strive to be available to our referring physicians 24/7, and to communicate with them regularly. We work closely with other specialists in the Penn Health System to assure that all aspects of our patients' health are appropriately managed. And we take seriously our role as educators of Penn Medicine's students, residents and fellows, who will be tomorrow's leaders.
