Alex made a great call during the procedure. We had an unforeseen issue and she stopped and called for assistance. I would rather have a provider stop and call for more experience, than to fold to ego or pressure from management. Alex made absolutely the right call in this case and I will always trust her judgement. She is a Keeper!
