Scarlett: Is our newest addition!   She has become our main front desk and insurance girl, growing leaps and bounds every day!  She puts a fresh eye on new ways of helping to keep the patient flow going, checking benefits and moving us into more of the "electronic age" which makes everything more efficient. She is eager to learn and has a way of "thinking outside the box" which is enabling her to grow with our office, always open to suggestions and new ideas to help patients have a wonderful experience. Scarlett enjoys family time, including her fur baby Zorro, hanging with her friends and listening to Music.

Sandy: Moving from Peru, to Oklahoma, then to our wonderful state of South Carolina, Sandy has been with us for over 2 years. She is DANB certified and will be studying to become an AAOMS Anesthesia Certified Surgical Assistant.  Sandy has been such an asset, especially bridging the gap with our Spanish speaking population, as it is her native language.  She is mainly clinical but will help with administrative tasks so don't be surprised if she answers your phone call!  She is married with two adorable children, a precious pup Diana and she enjoys running, baking and eating chocolate.
