We have some hard-working folks here at RRC! Our Medical Assistants are responsible for the daily upkeep and setup of patient examination, ultrasound and consultation rooms, as well as instrument/equipment cleaning, sterilization and preparation.
In addition, they assist RRC staff with obtaining patient information at appointment time, such as vitals, etc. They provide assistance during procedures, exams and ultrasounds as needed, authorize medications with insurance companies and handle weekly supply restocking/ordering. WHEW! We are lucky to have several Medical Assistants on staff at RRC. Amy Cripe is especially helpful to our patients and handles her duties cheerfully and professionally, day in and day out! Amy recently took time to tell us a bit more about herself. Thanks for all you do, Amy!
