Chrissy Jacobs                                               
Office Manager

Chrissy Jacobs has been working in the medical field since June of 2005.  She is a very organized individual who pays strict attention to details.  She says that she has the “wonderful privilege” of working with patients, collections and insurance. (Yuck- better you than any one of us, Chrissy!).  She enjoys the smiles that she is able to put on the children’s faces that she comes in contact with daily (as you’ll see her wandering about the hallways since she hates being in her office!);   She enjoys spending her spare time with her husband and children.  They spend most of their time at home.  She says that she appreciates the opportunities that God has given her with regard to her work and her family.  She says that she wants you to stop in her office so that she can get to know you as she cares about you and your child’s well being.
