About Me:

My interest in General Surgery began while studying Biology in high school. The influence of a great biology teacher and the mentorship of a General Surgeon who allowed me to volunteer with him sparked an interest in the human body and surgery. That interest led to a degree in Zoology and a career in medicine. I dedicated the next 9 years to becoming a General Surgeon. Medical school took me to Missouri and the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. There I learned the importance of the patient and that healing is not only a science but incorporates the mind, body, and spirit. After medical school, I began my General Surgery Residency at a small community hospital in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. For the next five years, I worked to learn the skills and art of surgery from many teachers in various subspecialties. While there, I served as the Chief Resident and Chief Surgical Resident, which helped me learn valuable time management and people skills.

I really appreciated being heard, the thorough explanation, and ability to ask questions and receive complete answers. I really like their manner, too. Good listener, kind, and capable.

Dr. Starley and his staff are amazing. I came to them with a problem I've been experiencing for over 5 years. He understood what was happening and made a comprehensive plan to help me through performing robotic surgery to remove the problem area. This is the 8th surgery I've had in the last 20 years and this was by far the easiest and most successful surgery of any of them. The time spent in the hospital was minimal and my recovery time was very short. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Starley to anyone seeking a remedy to a complicated medical situation. He listened to me and respected all of my concerns. Thank you for helping me and making my life easier to live.

Dr. Starley was very helpful, answering questions and showing me the ct scan results, explaining what I was looking at. He had a great manner with humor and I left feeling relieved rather than fearful. It was a very good visit.

The question where you ask about my medical team. My medical team has doctors outside the Legacy system. Dr. Starley and his staff are phenomenal. My primary care doctor, who is outside of the Legacy system, recommended him from a conference he led. They were quite impressed with him.

Extremely knowledgeable Doctors. Compassionate. Explained my case with expertise. My husband and I were able to understand the Doctors /Surgeons every word.
