Jim Pressley:

​

Jim is a retired army medic who had been a surgical technologist, surgical assistant and now has his Masters in Health Care Management. He is our Chief Operations Officer but I am most proud to call him my friend and a member of our MK family. He is available to all of our patients to troubleshoot any and all issues. If you have a problem that we can help, we want to know about it.

Beth Simmons:

​

In every business there is someone who meets every need, fills every hole. Beth Simmons is our Patient Access Manager but she does so much more than that. She precerts MRIs, schedules surgeries, helps with disability forms, argues with your insurance company, helps with medical clearance and just about anything that makes your experience smooth and effortless. She is the glue at MK and we are proud to welcome her to our team.

What is in a smile or a kind touch? Melissa Albert RT MA is a multi-talented individual who is our Radiology Technologist and Medical Assistant.  Our patients will tell you that she is best known for her kindness and compassion. Sometimes Healing just requires a patient ear and a warm heart.
