How I fell in love with transplant surgery:
My love for transplant surgery began as an intern, while caring for a kidney transplant recipient, and I witnessed the transformative impact of a new organ. That sense of purpose only deepened when I participated in my first liver procurement and later witnessed the extraordinary transition from donor to recipient. Now, being part of sewing in a new organ, I feel the privilege of giving someone a second chance at life. What makes this field even more meaningful is the chance to truly know my patients and care for them over a lifetime.

I recently participated in a consultation with Dr. Dauch as a heart transplant recipient.
My wife and I were so impressed not only with her exceptional medical knowledge but also her ability to explain the medical intricacies of my upcoming abdominal surgery in a way that my wife and I could totally understand!
She provided a very calming and comforting persona that eliminates any and all fears I had pertaining to my upcoming surgery! When she was done she had answered all my questions and even questions I had not thought of. She was so reassuring that I feel totally comfortable with her operating on me absent of any and all fears!! My wife and I were very impressed and she exceeded our expectations!
