Ashley, Office Manager

As our office manager, Ashley is the person who greets patients when they first walk through the door and ensures that every aspect of the practice runs smoothly, from scheduling appointments to submitting insurance claims. Originally from the Bronx, she has been working in this field for 15 years and counting. She loves the staff she works with here at the practice and thinks Dr. Newman is absolutely amazing with the patients, helping them feel at home and very relaxed.
