Dr. Tjoe's journey into medicine is a testament to resilience, the value of hard work, and the profound impact of chosen family. A childhood marked by responsibilities beyond her years, growing up fast in a new country, shaped her character. From her parents, she inherited lessons of tenacity, grit, and initiative, learning that the concept of "family" extends beyond blood ties to include friends and neighbors who provide mutual support and a sense of belonging. The choice of a medical career was ignited by her parents' aspirations. However, it was during college experiences that Dr. Tjoe discovered the multifaceted nature of being a doctor. Her journey through medical school allowed her to integrate her love for anatomy, medical illustration, and surgical pathology, leading to her present-day career in breast cancer surgery. This field enables her to embrace the challenges and rewards of operative disease removal, aesthetics, and the visual communication of these concepts to her patients through medical drawings.

Dr. Tjoe treasures the genuine connections she's made with the down-to-earth, fun-loving people of Northeast Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, and she's delighted to be back in the state she called home for over twenty years with friends now considered family.
