ONE LUCKY MUTHER 🪩
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Two reasons to post for the same special person @jasminthai !
.
Happy Surgical Technologist week to the best scrub in the land! So glad we could rescue (steal? 🤔) her from the clutches of the Death Star. And we also celebrated her birthday yesterday! She may only be in her 30’s but she is at least twice as mature as the surgeon in the practice. Then again that’s a low bar.
.
We also got to celebrate with an all-team dinner at the hottest spot in town @the_malarkey_pdx . One lady there couldn’t stop staring and when @mariariacc went to say 👋🏻, the woman was puzzled as to why so many beautiful women (and smart but how could she know?) were hanging out with the mid dude. I don’t know either! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Jazzy, thanks for being born and being such an integral part of the team. You make everyone’s day in the office better and easier. We appreciate you and know we couldn’t do it without you! To many more fun filled times in and out of the OR with you and the team. 💕

Happy Birthday to… US!
.
Seven years ago today, we took the plunge and started this little private practice. We left a stable academic job for the great unknown of creating a private practice. Would they come? Would we be taking a big risk? Would it somehow just work out? Fortunately, the answers were “yes!” 
.
On this date in 2019, we began seeing patients in a tiny temporary office just down the road. Since then, both I and the practice have grown in countless ways, all guided by a simple goal: to do right by our patients and provide a patient experience that is second to none. Do we always get it right? No. But we do our best and treat people the way we’d want to be treated.
.
Surgical results matter, of course, but they are only part of the story. The overall, holistic experience matters too. How patients are treated before they walk through our doors, during their consultation, on the day of surgery, and throughout their recovery. Our goal has always been to create an experience that makes patients feel cared for, supported, and confident in their decision. Happy patients tell their friends, who tell their friends, and that trust is what has allowed us to grow.
.
We also strive to create a workplace where people feel valued, respected, and appreciated. Team members sometimes move on to new opportunities, but one of the most meaningful compliments I receive is when former employees tell me it was a great place to work. We want to be the place with the best people so that we have all-stars treating all-stars. ✨ 

I am excited for what the future holds. While I don’t know exactly what the next seven years will bring, I do know that we will remain focused on our patients and our team. My name may be on the door, but this practice has never been about one person. A ship doesn’t sail with only a captain. It requires an exceptional crew, and I am grateful every day for the people who help care for our patients and make this practice what it is.

Sorry to be so sappy on this hump day. But allow me to say thank you to every patient, team member, friend, and family member who has been part of the journey so far. The best is yet to come. ❤️ MK

Late to this trend, but gimme a break because I’m Gen X and only one step removed from a Boomer! 👴 

Can you guess who these cool kids are? 👶 💕

Great food, great people, and mediocre Karaoke! The 6th Annual MK Holiday Party was last night at @sohohouseportland and we had a blast.

I am so lucky to have such an amazing team who prioritize patients and their experience before, during, and after surgery. It’s so much fun to see people in a different environment and get to spend time with their +1’s too. I love this team and the energy that we bring every day. We work super hard but have a great time doing it!

You know what they say? When the doctor’s away, the staff go cray! 🫠 
.
But seriously, in my absence they are collectively working hard to answer inquiries, schedule consultations and surgery, and optimize the surgical experience.
.
So as long as the building is still standing when I get back, it’s all good with me. Cuz we are gearing up for a busy summer of operating! 🔪💥
