About this episode

Terri Coutee interviews Dr. Andrea Moreira, a compassionate plastic surgeon, discussing her passion for surgery and patient care.

As part of my work at DiepCFoundation , I am able to meet in person, well-known board-certified surgeons across the world. My guest is one such surgeon I know. I have been anxious to interview her. Two words I find myself choosing to describe her are: Adaptable and compassionate. Each time I see her at a conference, the conversation is so easy and comfortable. I can't think it would be any different with her patients. Dr. Andrea Moreira is a plastic surgeon at the University of Pittsburg and Chief of Plastic Surgery at Magee Women's Hospital. Topics she covers in our interview include: · How she developed her passion for plastic surgery. · The services she provides at Magee Women's Hospital. · Dr. Moreira's interest in robotic-assisted DIEP flap. · The importance of providing a shared decision-making conversation about sensate breasts with her patients.
