The following compliments were recently received about Pavilion employees. Thank you, Pod B Team, Tammy Shive, and Lucas Barlow, for your excellent customer service! POD B TEAM I just wanted to take a moment and say how thankful I am for the ladies working in my pod. While Sarah has been out, as well as other times, LaDarra, Jana, Sandy and Kelci step up and take on extra work with no complaints. They help with my desktop, rooming patients, refills, etc. - all things that are easily overlooked and add to an already busy day for them. Often the float nurses are not as familiar with our workflow, and they help each one every time. I want you to know what hard workers and assets to our team they are. - Linsey Neuhaus, MD TAMMY SHIVE Tammy was extremely helpful. She literally went out of her way to comply with my records. She was knowledgeable and very articulate. She smiled the entire time. I felt so comfortable. Very professional, too. LUCAS BARLOW Very nice. Very approachable. Very professional and knowledgeable about services here. I witnessed him taking care of a situation with a patient who did not have an appointment/referral. Lucas researched and the patient got his papers and appointment followed. Patient appeared happy and grateful. Congratulations to the Pavilion Ultrasound Team! The American College of Radiology's Committee on Ultrasound Accreditation has granted our facility accreditation for a threeyear period. We thank the Radiology/Ultrasound teams for their hard work to achieve this accomplishment! Congrats!
