Everyone this is Chris, Chris this is everyone! He’s our amazing Medical Assistant and he helps us give injections 💉 and draw blood among other things.

You might be thinking 🤔 “why is Chris holding a plate of cookies 🍪?” Well, he had a small bet with one of our patients who bruises easily during blood draws. She said that she would definitely bruise, regardless of how good the blood draw was - she just always bruises, she said. Chris made a friendly wager of a plate of cookies 🍪 and our patient delivered after “the best blood draw she’s ever had.” Later that week, a plate of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies found their way to our office!

In all seriousness, it’s great to have Chris as a part of our team. He does excellent work and is a great person to know. We can’t wait to see you for your next appointment,

-Dr. Paul Thomas, Dr. Raquel Orlich, and Chris Lake
