Linda Matti-Heller
Front Desk/Scheduling/Referral Coordinator I am honored and thrilled to begin this next phase of my career working in a Primary Care setting that promotes wellness in a very close-knit and personalized manner. I have been working full time for the past 20-plus years in a health care setting. I have held positions in central scheduling for diagnostic testing and imaging with Botsford Hospital, Beaumont Health and Ascension. I have been married to my husband, Jason, for 16 years and we have two spoiled fur babies. We enjoy cooking together and traveling throughout Michigan to discover quaint Bed & Breakfast getaways.
Monique Etchells
As Practice Manager of Gem Health and Wellness, I oversee daily operations, billing procedures, and work on implementing growth strategies that center patient satisfaction and our organizational values.
I earned my Bachelor of Business degree in marketing from Cleary University and also have a certificate in Medical Billing. My professional career has included considerable experience in patient care, scheduling tests and surgeries, organizational operations, electronic medical records systems, and the fundamentals of health insurance. From this experience, I have afforded a unique perspective of the healthcare industry, which encourages and excites me to be a part of this patient-centered practice even more. I have an inquisitive nature which drives me to pursue personal and professional growth opportunities to further expand on my education and knowledge.
I was born and raised in Michigan, where I live with my husband of 23 years. We have 2 amazing children and 2 adorable pups. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, discovering new restaurants, gardening, and spending time with family and friends.
