Kamila Arteaga
RECEPTIONIST
Originally from Ecuador, I moved to the DMV area six years ago and immediately began working in customer service and office management. With ample experience serving clients in the medical industry as well as fluency in both English and Spanish, I excel at developing a rapport with patients. It is my goal to impart a personal touch to each and every patient’s office visit as I address their scheduling and billing needs. I look forward to joining the I Knead It team and, together, getting patients the relief they deserve.
When I’m not assisting patients, I enjoy hiking or hitting the gym but – on a rainy day – you might find me digging into good book.
