Julie has been our office manager for over 11 years. She started off working at the practice part time and her responsibilities have increased over time. Julie loves being involved with the practice and contributing to its growth and success. Her favorite part of her job is having the opportunity to work with the patients. Her best advice for patients is: Make sure that it is something you are doing for yourself, and have realistic expectations. Also look for a surgeon who fits your needs and understands what your desires and goals are.
