Staff / Our Team

Melissa A., Public Relations/Marketing – Helping to educate the community by making them aware of what NIMG has to offer, Melissa oversees projects (planning and implementation), coordinating with the media, newsletter creation, and general patient awareness venues. She uses patient ideas to help improve their education and other networking areas within the clinic. Melissa’s top priority – picking through the extensive wealth of information the physicians have to offer to better your family naturally, and to keep them at optimum health. After that she’s a Red Wings freak, enjoys the outdoors and amateur photography.

Christy F., Health Care Facilitator – Duties including scheduling patient appointments and testing’s, taking calls, getting medical records sent to where they need to go, and making sure patients feel welcome and well cared for when they visit NIMG are her priorities.  If something isn’t right with your visit, let Christy know and she will work on finding a resolution.  That of course applies only to the office, because when she is not at work you might find her (or it might be tough) outdoors hiking, camping, fishing, snowmobiling, walking the dog, or maybe just inside drawing and reading.

Linda B., Patient Liason/Medical Billing Specialist – Linda has blessed our patients with her experience and knowledge, assisting the physicians by keeping them informed about patient’s needs and more. She has been with NIMG and Dr. Kong for over 10 years, dealing with patient financial issues, supplement and diet issues, and patient care plans. Insurance verification, billing and follow-up are second nature to her. If you don’t catch her at work, chances are she is reading or is with her grandchildren, learning more than she ever thought she could.

Laura C., Health Care Facilitator (Bilingual) – Chances are most patients, especially new ones, are greeted cheerfully when they call NIMG by Laura. She is a wonderful resource and a great first impressions officer, able to communicate effectively with a large part of our community, and hard working to make sure that appointments and other needs are taken care of personably. Sports? Cubs fan big time. “Yay! Go Cubbies!!”

Heidy C., Patient Financial Specialist (Bilingual) – Many patients need understanding and patience while they are working toward improving their health. Heidy is that individual who assists patients needing rehab, helping to explain the process, why and what exercises are needed, how to do them safely and more. Between getting patients back to optimal physical shape, she also draws blood for testing and other diagnostic tests that are done internally. Aiming to become a registered nurse, Heidy fills spare time playing and reading with her kids.

Amanda G., Laboratory Administrator – Overseeing the diagnostic testing lab and testings (blood, UA, hormones, adrenal, endocrine, heavy metals, etc.) done internally is her main goal, and she manages it very efficiently. In addition to being our go to person for diagnostic needs, she helps our physicians and nurses with IV Vitamin Therapy drips and more. Summer and being outside rock for her because of the Cubs and the Bears, but her family and playing the WII fall close behind. It takes a steady hand to work magic with needles; wonder if that comes from playing some of those WII games…

Stephanie M., Patient Liaison/Front Office Coordinator - Whether you are a new patient or an established one, Stephanie is here to answer any questions you may have regarding understanding your care in our clinic, doctors orders, testing’s required, and any other concerns that crop up during care.  In addition to assisting patient concerns, she also oversees the front office flow.  Taking pictures comes naturally, especially when she is enjoying the outdoors, but her hands are sometimes occupied with changing diapers, dancing to the Monster Mash, and those other fun things you do when babysitting. Children are one of her weaknesses.

Sherry W., Licensed Massage Therapist/Serenity Office Manager – Sherry works with clients from NIMG and Serenity, overseeing the office functions and making sure that our patients receive therapeutic massages when ordered by their physician. She graduated from the Napa Valley School of Massage in California and brings some of that influence to the group here. Enjoying therapeutic medical massage, as well as relaxing Swedish, hot stone and pregnancy massage just to name a few, is what Serenity is all about. Going Green is more than a dream and Sherry is down right earthy. She is very eco-friendly, involved in the outdoors, art, traveling, and vegetarian cooking.
