"We have purposed ourselves to see patients within two weeks of receiv- ing a call from them, and we achieve this 95 percent of the time. This takes a great deal of organizational flow and the implementation of additional systems and processes, but we feel that achieving this goal is paramount."

When he and pediatric cardiologist Melissa Lefebvre, DO, met, they knew it was a good fit. KKHC welcomed her to the practice in September of 2014, and she has since become a very special part of the lives of many patients. "Dr. Lefebvre is a wonderful addition to the practice," says Dr. Mo. "She is very detailed and reads every surgical note before seeing the patient. She also spends good time with patients — more time, in fact, than any doctor I know. She is wonderful about communicating with patients, and they love her." An Arizona native and alumna of the University of Arizona, Dr. Lefebvre com- pleted her residency in both internal medicine and pediatrics at the University of Louisville. Following residency, she completed her specialty training in pediatric cardiology at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Medical College of Wisconsin. She is particularly inter- ested in echocardiography. "I knew from the time I was a very young child — around the age of 5 — that Dr. Mo with a patient.
