Mission & Approach
“Being a PA involves a lot of autonomy but is still based on working closely with physicians as part of a team, especially here at WSA. My training, skill and experience help this team extend the surgeons’ reach and maximize the attention, service and results of their care. My aim is to minimize your stress, provide the highest standard of care and get you back to your life quickly.”

"Darren Trafton really listened to all my symptoms"
"Darren Trafton really listened to all my symptoms and thoughts on my clots. He went
beyond the call of duty and did research about my clotting issues concerning my illness
prior to clots. The ultrasound technician I saw was absolutely the best and my whole body was so calm while she was examining my clots. I’m sorry I don’t remember her name, but she was so professional and sweet! Both she and Darren Trafton are the best!" -
