A Day in the Life: Dr. Melvin Schursky 🩺✨

From early morning pre-op huddles to post-surgery follow-ups, every part of the day matters for Dr. Melvin Schursky — and every detail contributes to exceptional care.

🎥 Go behind the scenes with Dr. Schursky at Riverside Walter Reed Hospital as he walks us through a day in surgery — beginning with team collaboration and patient conversations, and continuing into the OR for a left breast lumpectomy using Magseed technology and the KUBTEC System.

Between charting, connecting with families, and supporting his colleagues, his day reflects what drives him most — teamwork, innovation, and care that puts patients first.

One day. One team. A whole lot of purpose. 💚
