The Listening Surgeon

Surgery, shaped by listening.

Where precision and humanity are held to the same standard.

Heather Logghe — The Listening Surgeon

Surgeons bear witness to moments of profound vulnerability. Making space for healing — for patients and families — requires more than technical skill and sound clinical judgment. It requires listening, attunement, and the courage to remain present in uncertainty.

As a general surgeon, palliative care physician, and founder of #ILookLikeASurgeon, my work sits at the intersection of surgery, communication, and human experience — exploring how systems, culture, and structures shape care for physicians, patients, and the people who love them.

Whether you’re a clinician, a patient, a trainee, or someone who has simply felt that care could be more human — you are welcome here.
