Sadie - Patients Relations
I have been taking care of patients needs since November 2002. I have a high level of concern for patients in the office. If you would like to find me, I can be found under the front desk (sleeping). If you just whistle or call, I will come running (ok, maybe not running so much these days).

My favorite thing to do is play catch with my tennis balls. I also love my favorite toy (it looks like a dog and I almost have all the cotton out of it).
