Dr. Reisenauer was nominated by Dr. Shanda Blackman, who states the following:
“Dr. Reisenauer is one of the most professional colleagues I have worked with. She is always pleasant, completes tasks, and seeks solutions to difficult problems through investigating new technology. She is a leader and an example for our residents to follow. She balances her personal life with a daughter and a husband who is an interventional radiologist well with her professional life. She is fully engaged in life and yet clear about limitations. She does not commit unless she is completely focused and ready. I have no doubt she will be one of our brightest rising stars in Cardiothoracic Surgery”
