Mikala/ Reception
As the front desk receptionist at our medical office, Mikala is the first friendly face patients see when they walk through the door. With a warm smile and a positive attitude, she helps create a welcoming and comfortable environment for everyone who visits. Mikala has been in her role for over two years and brings strong communication skills and a genuine passion for helping people. She helps the front office run smoothly with her organization skills and attention to detail. She can help you through the paperwork and answer most of your insurance questions.
Mikala holds a dree in Communications from Central Michigan University, which supports her ability to connect with patients and staff alike. Outside the office, Mikala enjoys spending time with her husband, Max, their young daughter, Cecelia, and their cat, Spring. Whether its's a family outing or a cozy day at home, she values the little moments that bring joy and balance to her life.
Kait/Technician
When a patient comes in for testing or to complete our 12-day Multi-Sensory Therapy Program, chances are they will interact with Kait. An integral part of the Vision and Sensory Center team, Kait brings a unique and candid approach to her patient care skills, having been both a Vision Therapy and a multi-sensory photobiomodulation patient. She is an excellent resource for firsthand experience for how programs function and the benefit one can receive. Kait always does her best to meet patients where they are at, while also helping them bring out the best in themselves.
When she's not at the office, Kait enjoys hiking, photography, random road trips, and attending concerts. She will frequently encourage everyone to find their inner goblin and embrace it. She is so genuine that it's inspiring and delightfully contagious.
Roberta | Patient Care Coordinator/ Technician
Roberta joined our team in June of 2021. She comes to us from a unique perspective with first having family as patients in our programs.
