Flexogenix Cary NC

Featured Employee - Honor Fostvedt from our Oklahoma City office

My favorite thing about working at Flexogenix:
My favorite thing about working at Flexogenix is how I get the opportunity to learn new things about my position and the clinic every day. One other thing that I love about my job is the patients. I love talking to each patient and learning about their lives and what they do.

What I do on a daily basis:
I am working as a Financial Consultant, which consists of meeting with each patient to discuss treatment costs and organizing payment arrangements based on what their insurance will cover. I am also learning the position of Consultation Medical Assistant. That position consists of talking to the patients about their medical history and getting the preliminary information for our Physician so that she will be able to prescribe a treatment.

We are thankful to have Honor as a part of our Flex Family!

Featured Employee - Beth Gichuhi from our Cary office

My favorite thing about working at Flexogenix:
One of my favorite things about working at Flexogenix is that it is so diverse and I get to work and meet all kinds of people from all walks of life. The most rewarding aspect is the ability to connect with our patients on such an intimate level. I like being the friendly face that patients see when they come for their treatment. I love empowering and supporting patients to know they are able to get through anything. This has allowed me to nurture my desire to help others and make a difference in them. The feeling of satisfaction I get when I successfully see our patients helped and are able to perform their activities of daily living keeps me going and appreciate life.

With a highly versatile skill set, I am the extra set of hands for the physicians and other medical professionals. I like helping in any other way if needed by my coworkers. I go by this quote, "If you love your work, you'll be there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around you will catch the passion from you - like a fever" Sam Walton.

We are delighted to have Beth as a part of our Flex Family!

Featured Employee - Adrienne Haskins from our Oklahoma City office

My favorite thing about working at Flexogenix:
My favorite thing about working at Flexogenix is my patients. They are a never ending source of wisdom, encouragement and entertainment. They have a lot to say and share if you are willing to listen.

What I do on a daily basis:
My primary role is as the Radiology Practitioner Assistant in the Oklahoma City office, but it is so much more than that. While yes, my primary job duty is to do the actual joint injections, I wear many, many hats. I am a leader, a teacher, a cheerleader, a friend, a confidant and anything else my patients and co-workers need me to be.

We are grateful to have Adrienne as a part of our Flex Family!

Featured Employee - Vidya Kumar from our Greensboro office

My favorite thing about working at Flexogenix:
The most admirable thing about working at Flexogenix is the learning experience I gain every day interacting with people. Patients walk in with anxiety and concern about osteoarthritis and what treatment options are available for them to avoid knee replacement. I feel extremely happy about myself when I explain the different treatment protocol options we offer and they are convinced to try our non-surgical approach. Working with different physicians and my flexo staff is enjoyable.

What I do on a daily basis:
I work as a medical assistant and my key role is to interact with the patients and get to know their past medical history and any major complications that need to be focused on. I would then explain about our FDA approved non-surgical treatment options using our advanced imaging technology based on their specific insurance coverage details. I also assist in the lab and procedure rooms. I love to see my patients lead a pain free life.

We are thrilled to have Vidya as a part of our Flex Family!
