I’m incredibly proud to introduce our ultrasound team to you all. Why choose us? Great question! Here are just a few reasons why our team stands out.
We Have an Incredible Team
Did I say incredible? Yes, I did! Our ultrasound team consists of four dedicated members:
Dr. Derr – Our Ultrasound Fellowship Director
Dr. Hansen – Our Ultrasound Residency Director
Dr. Martinez – One of our talented fellows
Dr. Mbom (that’s me!) – Another passionate fellow
Together, we bring expertise, enthusiasm, and a love for ultrasound to every case we encounter.
We Are Always Available
We take responsiveness seriously. No matter the time—day or night—our team is always just a message away. Whether it's discussing an interesting case or tackling a challenging ultrasound interpretation, we’re here to help.
Just two weeks ago, one of our interns reached out at 1 AM about a case of pericardial effusion concerning for tamponade. Guess what? Dr. Martinez responded immediately! That’s right—we don’t sleep when it comes to supporting our team and sharing our passion for ultrasound.
We Perform TEE in the ED
Yes, you heard that right! We perform transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the emergency department—during cardiac arrests.
Thanks to Dr. Derr’s relentless efforts, TEE is now approved for various clinical uses in our ED. While many programs offer TEE training through classes and rotations, actually performing TEE in the ED during a cardiac arrest is almost unheard of. That makes our program truly special.
