Stacy Tidwell

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Stacy Tidwell. She was a beloved member of the Advanced Surgeons family, an amazing colleague, and a friend to us all. Stacy was always willing to lend her expertise and advice, and she was a source of strength and positivity for everyone around her. Her hard work and dedication to our organization was appreciated and admired by all who knew her. We will miss her enthusiasm, her kindness, and her willingness to help others. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time. We will honor her memory and remember her in our hearts forever.

Our office will be closed Wednesday. If you have any questions, please call our office.

We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
