Ashley, Practice Administrator
Ashley is a true Michigander--but the warmer climate and appeal of the South brought her to Atlanta. With her BS in Health Administration she was a certain match for the Oculus team. Initially, Ashley worked as a Billing and Insurance Coordinator, making sure patient accounts were managed and billed correctly. Her exceptional work performance and educational background, major in health administration and minor in business administration prepared her very well for her future role she has assumed as Practice Administrator. As Practice Administrator, Ashley bears much responsibility for making things work for the entire staff and physicians as well as all of our patients at Oculus. The constant daily demands require strong administrative capabilities in many areas as well as efficiency. "I find each day rewarding as well as challenging. It is a privilege to work alongside so many professionals, staff and physicians." Ashley’s role is vital to the overall function of a good medical environment and her expertise plays a critical role in the success of our practice everyday at Oculus.
