Her attention to detail, quick responsiveness, and credible work ethic make her an outstanding role model for us all. Those who work under Erin trust her completely because we know she has our best interest, and the interest of our patients, at heart. Erin leads from compassion, never condescending or belittling, always empowering and supportive.
