OB Nursing: Shala WynnWe want to thank Shala for all her hard work this past month.

Thank you for all you do!
Nursing: Johnna BarrentineJohnna does our URO’s and Pellets. Johnna ALWAYS goes above and beyond for her patients. She treats every single patient like her family, they are her number one priority. She deserves this award for all her hard work and love for our patients! We are so grateful for her in so many ways and for so many years with the company!
Ultrasound: Katelyn LambKatelyn has been working on implementing new ideas to make our OB department even better. Katelyn is genuinely passionate about her work and her patients which is one of the reasons she is so successful in her career. Being an OB sonographer is tough. We know immediately when your baby no longer has a heartbeat, your baby has a heart defect, when your baby is ground in your fallopian tube instead of your uterus, etc. But we also rejoice when you finally get pregnant after trying for years or have your rainbow baby after a terrible loss. Our job can be devastating or rewarding and is challenging but worth it. Katelyn comes to work every day ready to take on whatever challenge is thrown her way with a smile on her face and the ability to make an educated medical diagnosis based on her ultrasound findings. We are honored to have you on our team Katelyn!

Citlaly has recently taken on the role as Dr Brickman’s nurse and has proven she is more than capable of keeping up with the fast pace of the office. She is hard working and does not get easily flustered with her work load. Citlaly is always willing to learn something new and is never scared to ask questions if she doesn’t know the answer to something. We love having her on our team!
Front Desk: Madison HarperMadison has caught on so quickly and jumped into her position without any hesitation .This month she has covered multiple offices. She has received many compliments from our patients and her workers.

Provider: Jamie ThomasJamie is new to UOG but we can always count on her. Hands down, without a doubt, no question! We have no idea what we would do without her. She is a rock star!
