About Me

How did you fall in love with your field?

I think that surgery is unique in the sense that we have the ability to diagnose a patient with a problem and fix it, or at least significantly improve a patient’s quality of life related to that problem, through an operation. In terms of the operations that most interest me- bariatric, foregut, and hernia surgery- these patients are so debilitated by their specific disease process and to see how much they improve after surgery is so rewarding and fulfilling and has really reinforced to me that I chose the right subspecialty within the field of general surgery! 

Some things people may not know about me:

  1. I am a twin.
  2. I quote my grandma at any opportunity that I have - she is 102 so what she says must be right!
  3. I have never met someone with smaller handwriting than me.
  4. I am scared of roller coasters

    Very informative and answered all my questions. Didn't feel rushed. Very caring and very personable.

    She seemed very focused on what could go wrong. While I appreciate surgery has risks...I could have used a bit more confidence that she could help me to put my mind at ease.

    Dr Haskins and her team are top notch, they are very informative and listens to my questions as well. Other team members would include Nurse Alexandra and Felicia Thorson. I would recommend this team to anyone.

    I am so happy I chose Dr Haskins to be my surgeon. I was impressed with her knowledge and expertise and her ability to put the patient at ease while explaining test results and procedures. She took her time explaining everything and answered all of my questions and concerns. Nebraska Medicine is very fortunate to have her.

    Due to seven surgeries before meeting Doctor Haskins, I had complications with my first two surgeries with her. She and her team were with us every step of the way.
