Amy

I have worked as a medical assistant for over 15 years, working in diverse healthcare settings, including cardiology, urgent care, drug detoxification and as an x-ray technician. Recently, and to my great surprise, I found out that I was pregnant. In November 2024, I brought a healthy girl into this world.

I have always strived to bring a positive attitude and the best of care to our patients. I enjoy working for Dr. Kass. The work is both challenging and fascinating and I find that, despite my vast past experience, I learn new things each and every day. I love working with the patients, many of whom come from Europe, Canada, Mexico and beyond to seek Dr. Kass’s services.
