Dr. Lisena G. Verka
Overview
As a child, I grew up in a family where antibiotics, patients, laboratory analyses, infection, treatment, were common and frequently used words. I learned them by asking what they meant every time I would hear a new one. I still vividly remember my father leaving the house every Monday morning carrying a few freshly ironed white coats. He taught me about the importance of his job, why people care for each other, the responsibilities and the satisfaction a physician has. I always knew that I would follow my father’s steps and see patients, listen to their concerns, and play an important part in their lives by trying to keep them healthy, and away from harm. Many nights I arrive home late from work. The balance between my private and my professional life is found in my family's support, and the satisfaction that I did the best I could for my patients.
