Seattle, WA 

Overview

As a thoracic surgeon, I care for patients with a wide range of general thoracic problems with a focus on minimally invasive techniques. I believe that patient education is highly important. Empowering patients with a comprehensive understanding of their disease process and treatment options allows us to make informed, joint decisions about the best approach for each individual patient. I prioritize clear, open communication to ensure both patients and their families are fully engaged in the care process. Compassion and active listening are at the heart of my practice, as I strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel heard and respected.

Her clinical expertise encompasses Hiatal Hernia, Diaphragmatic Hernia, Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer, Mesothelioma, and Thymectomy.

She is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 7 peer reviewed articles. Dr. Mackay is currently accepting new patients.
