About Sylvonne A. Layne, M.D., MPH
I was drawn to surgery for its combination of technical skill, critical thinking, and the opportunity to make a tangible difference in patients’ lives. Throughout my training in general surgery, trauma, and critical care, I developed a particular interest in burn surgery, where these elements come together in a uniquely meaningful way.
Burn care extends far beyond the operating room. It requires managing the immediate consequences of injury while planning for wound healing, reconstruction, functional recovery, and long-term quality of life. I value the opportunity to care for patients throughout this continuum and to help them navigate the physical and personal challenges of recovery.
My clinical interests include acute burn care, complex wound management, reconstruction, and surgical critical care, as well as the evaluation and management of patients with traumatic injuries and other acute surgical conditions. I am committed to providing thoughtful, comprehensive care and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to achieve the best possible outcomes for my patients.
