Laura Westphal, Certified Surgical Technician
Posted: Monday, April 30, 2018 | Revised: March 19, 2021
Laura is a Certified Surgical Technician who worked as a surgical OR tech at Chelsea Hospital for 15 years, where she and Dr. Jones worked closely together. Dr. Jones was impressed with her enthusiastic work ethic, technical skill, and warm personality, and is delighted to be working with her again.
When asked what she loves most about being a part of Michigan Vein Care Specialists she said simply, “because I enjoy helping people.” And then added, “One day we had a patient in that had an open wound. It was obvious she was in great pain and had a very sad look on her face. So I asked her if she needed a hug. She was on the verge of crying and answered, “Desperately.” I gave her the hug and she was very thankful. It confirmed to me that I made the right career choice.”
Away from the practice, Laura enjoys spending time with her family, reading, listening to music, and volunteers at school and Hospice.
