What Makes Sandy Special

Sandy came to us with plenty of administrative experience in the medical field and has been a great addition to our team.  Starting in the Lancaster-East office and then transitioning to Mount Joy, Sandy’s flexibility has allowed her to contribute to a smooth patient experience.  Sandy understands there are often underlying situations for patients who are dealing with pain so her goal is to make their experience a little brighter by greeting them with a smile and answering any questions they have upon arrival at the office.

When not at the office, Sandy enjoys spending time with her grown children and her rescue pup, a German Shephard.  She also enjoys gardening and working outside, but her favorite pastime is cooking.  On the weekends, you will find Sandy unwinding at her cabin in Clinton County, PA.
