Shannon became a part of the Premier Physical Therapy team in May 2010. She attended the University of North Dakota, where she graduated with honors and a bachelor's degree in English and Education.
While insurance benefits can be confusing, Shannon works hard to ensure that each patient's coverage is explained in detail. One of her greatest joys is working with others, so we will be putting that to good use here at Premier, where she is the go-to gal for patient questions, comments and concerns.
After spending two years traveling around the US, Shannon is happy to be living in South Carolina. Originally from North Dakota, she loves the warmer climate! She enjoys traveling, reading, hiking, soaking up the sun, writing, and trying new things. She loves watching football; her favorite team is the Minnesota Vikings (even though they disappoint her every year).
Her motto: If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse. -Jim Rohn

Barbara just recently started with Premier Physical Therapy in April of 2010. We are very excited to have her use her knowledge from all her Billing background.
She is originally from Putnam, Connecticut but was raised in Summerville, SC. She is very friendly and easy to get along with but also an extremely focused individual, especially when at work. Barbara has been working in the medical field for the past 8 years and really enjoys the billing portion because of the hard work and dedication it takes to work with the insurance companies.
Barbara loves being outdoors, boating, water sports, gardening, camping, going to concerts, and hanging out with her boyfriend, friends, and family. Her favorite things are cooking out or being on the water enjoying our beautiful weather. She played softball since she was a little girl. The position that she played the most was short field because she was one of the quickest and never a let a ball get by. Although she is not a huge sports fan, she loves football because it is such a physically demanding sport. She says her favorite team is the Carolina Panthers.
