Dr. Krista Sinclair - Elite Plastic Surgery

Krista began her medical career in 2012 as a registered nurse, serving on the cardiac and ER/Trauma team. During her time in the ER she worked with Dr.Torabi and his group. Krista wanted to take a more active role in patient-centered care, so she advanced her education and became a Family Nurse Practitioner. Krista’s current opportunity for patient continuity came when she began working with Elite Plastic Surgery. Dr. Torabi offered to sponsor her First Assisting certification, enabling Krista to be present during patient surgeries and evaluating them in the clinic for pre and post-surgical visits.
