Areas of Expertise
Lynn has passionately dedicated her entire 36 year career towards elevating the education of the podiatric medical assistant and recognizing the value of their role in terms of increasing the professionalism, proficiency and productivity of a practice.  Thanks to her comprehensive background as an assistant, office manager and mentor and a focused education in human resources, Lynn can offer unique insight to both doctors and assistants regarding various staff-management issues, with particular concentration in the neglected area of “training.”  Lynn’s objective is to focus on the development and retention of quality staff.   This is accomplished by identifying any potential critical areas of breakdown (resulting in employee dissatisfaction and turnover) and applying sensible solutions, well-designed tools and turnkey training/management techniques to help rebuild a stronger infrastructure.  Guidelines to facilitate improved efficiencies and profitability are discussed and open dialogue encouraged in an effort to improve overall staff-doctor communication, understanding and morale.
