Erica Young

"Erica has been working in my clinic for some time now. She has made an impact on our productivity in a positive way. She greets each patient with a smile and makes them feel comfortable for the visit. Dr. Brabston calls this a positive first touch. Erica has the same demeanor if we are very busy or if we have just a typical patient load. She’s made a point to lean the physician preferences in order to expedite patient visits. We regularly get positive google reviews directly mentioning her. I’m grateful she’s a part of our team!"

Renee Buchanon

"Renee has gone the extra mile by bringing back our clinic wheelchairs left in the parking deck and across the street. She has done this on more than one occasion. It's tempting to go home when you've clocked out and trying to beat traffic. Thank you Renee for your dedication!"

"Tori has been a HUGE help to the Sports Medicine staff since the opening of the clinic! She has gone above and beyond to assist with DME inventory, MotionMD training, working through the nuances of the MotionMD system, and helping to organize processes for efficient reordering and inventory control, all while never neglecting her responsibilities in the Cast Room, helping ensure patients are seen in an efficient manner. We are thankful for all of your help, Tori!"
