    My desire for helping someone in need is the reason I decided to become a Registered Medical Assistant. I am a full-time RMA & due to that my availability is very limited. I have 20 yrs of experience as a Medical Assistant. I respectfully prefer a NON smoker. I am available ONLY weekends after 1pm. I look forward to being any assistance that I can to make things easier for both the patient & the family. :-)
