Kim has been with The Arthritis & Infusion Center for three and a half years, and has a diverse healthcare background as a former Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). In addition, she is a Certified Behavioral Health Technician as well as maintains her Certified Nursing Assistant license.
When asked what she loves about her work, she was very quick to respond: “My employer – Dr. Hulon Crayton. He provides such a nice, easy, peaceful, and fun environment in which to work,” but she was just as quick to compliment her peers. “We have an absolutely awesome team that is amazing to work with, and because our days can be quite stressful, it’s nice to have a professional team where everyone works together.”
Kim gets a lot of gratification from being able to let a patient know, following lab work, that their tests are satisfactory … or … “When something is found that is abnormal within the lab tests, we try to find out exactly what is going on in order for Dr. Crayton to know how to treat them.”
Dr. Hulon Crayton brings specialized expertise to the analysis of tests administered in the lab, and then analyzes, recommends, and administers test results. “Our testing methods are particularly important in the screening and diagnosis of rheumatic disease, as well as for measuring the patient’s response to the various therapies available,” said Kim. “I’ve seen patients come in for their first visit in a wheelchair, and within two treatments, they are able to walk on their own accord. What’s especially rewarding is that some of these patients had been told that they’d never walk again!”
The Arthritis & Infusion Center patients have benefited from our advanced and prompt research utilizing the most advanced diagnostic tests and treatment methods for diseases such as fibromyalgia and lupus. Once lab work is finalized, we carefully administer follow-up care, which can ensure a better treatment plan and greatly improve a patient’s quality of life.
“When my patients tell me they hurt, I believe them,” said Dr. Crayton. “With our in-house laboratory, the time a person has to remain in pain is greatly diminished, because we provide prompt results along with an accurate diagnosis.” Pain is not normal. Let us help!
