Every doctor has a reason for wanting to go into medicine. For Dr. Yermolina, it was a health scare during her childhood. When she was 12 years old, she nearly died from complications of appendicitis. It was a long and difficult recovery. She knew then and there that she wanted to help others the way her medical team helped her.

Dr. Yermolina gives every patient the care she would want for herself and is committed to partnering with patients and families to develop a care plan that best serves them.

Dr. Yermolina is an avid hiker and loves spending time outdoors in the Phoenix Mountain Preserves. She also participates in a mountain biking group with friends from work.
