      Dr. Ireland is a fantastic surgeon who is equally knowledgeable and friendly. She always goes above and beyond with her professionalism and her bedside manner. She tells it like it is in a courteous and respectful way. I can tell she really cares about her patients - probably because she is a great athlete herself and understands not only the physical aspects, but also the mental aspects of what her patients are going through. Dr. Ireland is a top-notch doctor. UK is fortunate to have her. Others should learn from her.
