Jeff is the Business Manager and recently took on the role of our Professional Relations Manager to ensure our referring doctors and practices know they matter and that we are taking excellent care of their patients. Jeff was the flexible working parent over the years, but the Yingling’s three children are now independently mobile, so he is back in the office and on the road visiting offices.
