Accomplishments

Over the years I have progressed in my knowledge of the medical field. My first 3 years were spent in the front office, scheduling office appointments, filing of medical records in paper charts , obtained authorizations and referrals, as well as taking phone calls from patients and insurances companies. In the next part of my career I spent 2 years in the front office at New Braunfels Cardiology scheduling for multiple providers, 3 years in the NUC department at New Braunfels Cardiology, participating in the nuclear stress test both lexiscan and bruce protocols, sometimes adenosine stresses, and plain bruce protocol stress test. I would also place orders for supplies that was needed and kept up with the carsh cart meds and supplies. I gained a lot of knowledge in that department as far as the EKGs and what rhythms to look out for. I loved working with the patients and answering their questions about the testing and what further steps to take to help manage their care. The RN that was in that department Julie Hendricks was very knowledgeable and taught me a lot. During my time at I also roomed patients for providers as well as drew labs and obtained pertinent records from local facilities. I also scheduled surgeries for Dr Rossbach and roomed his patients and handled his patient calls and questions regarding surgeries, medications, medical records, and appointments.
