Hear directly from the clinicians who have worked with Tonya.
"Tonya brings a depth of experience across a variety of operative settings, with particular expertise in vein harvesting and as a first assist in our cardiac ORs. She is technically excellent and has sound judgement built over years of experience. I have personally benefited from operating with Tonya, and she is one of my favorite people to operate across from—someone I trust, learn from, and consistently enjoy working with.
Equally important is her role as an educator. Tonya is a thoughtful, generous, and highly effective teacher, particularly in training physician assistants in vein harvesting.She approaches teaching with intention. I have observed her offering practical, experience-driven technical tips that are not easily learned from textbooks alone. She is deeply engaged in the growth of those she trains and creates an environment where learners feel supported while being held to a high standard.
What stands out is that her investment is genuine—she wants the people she trains to succeed, and she follows through on that commitment with genuine interest and attention. The residents and physician assistants who have trained under her hold her in exceptionally high regard, which reflects both her technical mastery and her ability to teach in a way that is both rigorous and encouraging.

"Tonya Doyle trained me for EVH in 2015. I had the privilege of working closely with Tonya for many years in CV surgery in my role as a CST, before becoming a CSFA. Once obtaining my first assistant designation, I wanted to learn and be trained by no one other than Tonya for EVH. I’d observed and seen many over the years in the First Assistant role with EVH ability, and she is by far the best. Not only because of the speed and efficiency in which she could harvest vein, but by the quality of vein she could produce.
Her EVH training was highly beneficial for developing both technical skill and clinical confidence. I strongly believe that developing confidence in your ability to succeed is the greatest characteristic that can be obtained, and Tonya instilled confidence in me throughout our entire training regiment. She did so by way of verbal reinforcement, and by the tips and advice that she provided to handle any challenge that difficult anatomy might have presented.
Her training and mentoring significantly improved my understanding and technical ability, and I highly recommend this instruction to anyone seeking to strengthen or begin their EVH skills."
