Trust, Time, and Technology: The Human Side of Modern Surgery

The best patient care is built on trust, technical excellence, and the ability to protect time for what matters most. In this episode of the Truly Integrated Podcast, host Pat Williams, Co-Founder and CEO of iScribeHealth, sits down with Dr. Gregory Yanish, hand and upper extremity surgeon at Capital Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine in Des Moines, Iowa. Dr. Yanish shares his unconventional path from general surgery to hand surgery, his work with rural patients, farmers, and professional athletes, and why understanding a patient’s lifestyle is essential to creating the right surgical plan. He also discusses the burden of documentation, how iScribe has helped him reclaim time, and why AI in medicine is most valuable when it gives clinicians more space to focus on patients. From minimally invasive techniques to building confidence before surgery, Dr. Yanish offers a thoughtful look at what makes medicine both deeply technical and deeply human. Tune in to learn how trust, time, and thoughtful technology can help physicians deliver better care while building a more balanced life.
