“For all of us, the most valuable asset we have is our time – once it is spent, it cannot be returned. This is where Dr. Oliver’s generosity is most evident. No matter what level of mentee she is supporting, she is never too busy…even when she is too busy! She is always available, which is evidenced by two distinct events: 1) the carpet in front of her door has had to be replaced due to the parade of folks that come for advice, encouragement, support, or the facts; and 2) she has spoken at the String of Pearls Lecture more than any other surgeon – except Dr. Pories (in all fairness, he has been here a lot longer!). She is who we should all strive to be as mentors and educators, but most importantly, as a person.”

-Dr. Iannettoni, Chairman of The Department of Cardiovascular Sciences
