Dr. Ehrenfeld is a U.S. Navy veteran and often relies on the VA system for care, according to a March 29 press release. 

The procedure was performed by Juan Trivella, MD, Dr. Ehrenfeld’s gastroenterologist at the Milwaukee VA. 

Dr. Ehrenfeld has been a VA patient since returning from service in Afghanistan in 2015, first in Nashville, Tenn., and since 2019 at the Milwaukee VA.

“I trust in my doctors (at VA) to get me the care I need, and I encourage other Veterans to do the same,” Dr. Ehrenfeld, a practicing anesthesiologist, said in the release. “I have a lot of faith in my doctors and my team, and I know it will go smoothly.”

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
