Erik Stancofski

Erik Stancofski brings something that's genuinely rare in a speaker: nearly three decades of active, hands-on surgical practice combined with the communication instincts of someone who has spent that entire career explaining complex medical decisions to real people in high-stakes moments. He isn't speaking from theory. Every insight he shares comes from 28 years in the operating room, from co-founding and building a respected surgical practice, from serving as Vice Chair of Surgery at Beebe Healthcare, and from being the kind of surgeon patients drive past other hospitals to see. When Erik talks about surgical innovation, patient outcomes, or what it takes to build trust in a community, he's drawing on a career's worth of evidence.
