Listen "The Patient Journey: Through the Lens of an Athlete, Patient, and now Surgeon"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when your surgeon has been in your shoes — as both a Division I athlete and a patient? In this episode, Dr. Creech shares her journey from recovering from lower extremity injuries, including a Jones fracture, to becoming a foot and ankle surgeon. She reflects on what it was like to fight her way back to the field and how those experiences influence her care philosophy today. Hear how she connects with her patients by remembering what it felt like to be 18 years old, injured, and eager to return to sport — and how that perspective shapes the way she communicates, treats, and supports her patients now.
