Patti Reigle - Certified Medical Manager
A Florida native, she was born and raised in Ft Myers and graduated from Bishop Verot High School. She started her medical career in Dermatology where she worked for eight years, and will never forget the opportunities, strengths, and insights her first manager gave her. She changed specialties to GI in 1988 when she had the opportunity to manage the practice. Since 1988 medicine has rapidly changed from Fee for Service, to Managed Care, to now Health Care Reform.
It is a constantly changing environment. Her first and foremost concern has always been to provide the best medical care possible to the patients. In order to do this the physicians must be free to be the physician and treat the patients. It is her responsibility to manage the practice so that the medical care of the patients comes first. It takes a team to make a medical practice successful in this changing world. Without her wonderful staff and the excellent care the physicians provide she would be managing just another medical practice. However, she strives everyday to help the physicians provide the best medical care possible and be one step ahead of all the others and to ensure that her staff works with the physicians to make this happen.
Since 1988 Patti has been a member of Health Management Association (HMA), a local office manager’s organization and held the position of president in 2002. She has been a Certified Medical Manager since 1993 through the Professional Association of Health Care Office Management (PAHCOM). She has been a member of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) since 2005.
