THE STAFF

We are a very progressive office and feel that the best way to serve our patients is for the staff members to be cross trained in a variety of areas.  This way if a staff member is out sick, the majority of the time we do not have to interrupt patient care as another staff member can step right in and cover. You will see that several of our staff member work in several different departments.  It has taken us many years and lots of training to achieve this goal.  Please see below for our "years of service" awards.  We feel that we have the most knowledgeable and best team in the area.  We promise that if we don't have the answer, we will do our best to find it out for you!
