Patient Care Coordinator
Samantha is a Patient Care Coordinator at Shift Therapy & Wellness. She grew up in Dallas, Georgia, and now proudly calls Adairsville home. She studied healthcare sciences at Chattahoochee Technical College and spent the past 4+ years working in outpatient orthopedic clinics, seeing a wide variety of conditions from athletic injuries to chronic pain.
Samantha also has experience in the eye care field, where she handled insurance verification, front desk operations, and patient scheduling, and worked as an optometric technician assisting patients and supporting doctors with clinical tasks. That background helped her build the communication, organizational, and patient-focused skills she brings to her role at Shift, helping patients navigate check-in, insurance, and referrals.
Guided by honesty, integrity, and treating others with kindness and respect, Samantha is especially passionate about easing the anxiety patients often feel when starting physical therapy, making sure every patient feels comfortable and supported from the moment they walk through the front door.
Outside of work, Samantha loves hiking and camping, experimenting with homemade sourdough bread, and spending time with her husband and their dog exploring local spots.
