Staff Spotlight – Laura Cornelius, Surgery Coordinator
Laura Cornelius has been a part of Premier Pain for nearly as long as we’ve been seeing patients! She joined PPTI in January 2017, a short eight months after we opened our doors, and has been a vital part of our team ever since. As our Surgery Coordinator, Laura works tirelessly behind-the-scenes to guide patients through the many steps required to get approved and scheduled for surgery.
While the process can be complex and stressful, Laura stays motivated by the impact her work has on patients’ lives. As she puts it, “Knowing that when I schedule someone for a surgery it is getting them one step closer to the quality of life that they want and deserve.”
Outside of work, Laura relaxes by going to the beach (one of the perks of working remotely in Florida!), paddling, and rocking out to her favorite band, Cake.
