Personal Philosophy:
The overlap of people and science is what directed Kelsey Kostreba, PA-C, to a career in medicine. She began her time with Specialists in General Surgery as a PA student and immediately fell in love with the culture. “What I was seeing was a group of people who were incredibly like-minded in what they wanted to accomplish, which was providing the absolute best patient care,” she said. Today, she works with patients before, during, and after surgery, and she especially enjoys assisting on robotics cases.
