Dr. Gomez-Sanchez receives Clinical Excellence Award

The UCSF Department of Surgery proudly recognizes Dr. Clara Gomez Sanchez, who has been honored by the UCSF Academic Senate with this year’s Clinical Excellence Award.

Dr. Gomez-Sanchez’s work centers on complex vascular disease — where surgical precision directly impacts limb preservation, organ function, and long-term quality of life. Her practice reflects technical mastery, disciplined clinical judgment, and an unwavering commitment to patient-centered care.

This university-wide recognition from the Academic Senate affirms the depth of her contributions — not only in the operating room, but in advancing standards of care and shaping the culture of excellence within our department. We are proud to celebrate this well-earned distinction.
