IBR Staff//September 21, 2022
St. Joseph Regional Medical Center general surgeon Dr. Sallee Jones recently became one of the region’s few physicians to earn the status of “da Vinci Super User” for her extensive experience with the industry-leading da Vinci surgical robot. Awarded to surgeons who have completed at least 50 or more robotic-assisted procedures in a single three-month period, the da Vinci Super User designation is the highest status recognized by Intuitive, the developer and manufacturer of da Vinci. During her career, Jones has performed nearly 450 surgeries using da Vinci technology. St. Joe’s CEO Ed Freysinger said the hospital staff members congratulate Dr. Jones on earning the distinction of da Vinci Super User, and it is proud to have a surgeon on the team with so much skill and experience in robotic-assisted surgery. Jones said she has enjoyed witnessing advancements in robotic-assisted surgery in recent years and in playing a direct role in bringing the benefits of da Vinci-assisted surgery to St. Joe’s patients.
