Andrea Lopez, MD, David Hasan, MD, Cina Sasanneijad, MD, and Scott Le, DO
"Andrea Lopez (PGY2 Neurology Resident), Scott Le (stroke attending), David Hasan (endovascular surgeon) and Cina Sasanneijad (ICU attending) provided seamless care to a Duke Employee who woke up with a major left MCA stroke. With their collaborative team care efforts, the patient had an miraculous improvement."

Samantha Lowenberg
"I saw a patient who got agitated and walked out frustrated. I was left in the examination room shaken by what had happened. After noticing the patient's behavior, Samantha immediately looked for me to check if I was okay. I felt safe and am so glad I have a team who cares."
Irene Abella, MSN
