Natali Alster-Back Office Operations

A traveler at heart, I have worked for Dr. Dana Clark for three years as the front office receptionist and back office operations specialist. I have been studying physics with hopes of attending medical school in the very near future. I was born in Florida, but moved to Israel at the age of eleven. I have enjoyed working for Dr. Clark because while studying to be a medical doctor he has opened my eyes to the remarkable field of alternative medicine. I feel this experience will help me be a better doctor someday. I appreciate his flexibility and caring nature towards his patients and employees.
