Hi! My name is Deja: With many years of experience in the medical field, I’m excited to bring my skills and personality back into the PT community. I enjoy the outdoors, Art & DIY projects. Recently moved from Portland, I have a lot of exploring planned with my partner and two Border Collies, Luna and Baily. I cannot wait to experience Central OR hiking, paddle boarding and camping! I look forward to hearing more about where the locals like to eat and hang!

Sylvester William (aka The Sly) | Financial Assistance Manager,
PCC Assistant, Digital Marketing Specialist:
Hey there, I'm Sylvester, a multifaceted professional at Living Well Therapy, where I wear multiple hats to ensure our patients receive 5-star care and our clinic thrives in the digital realm.

As a Financial Assistance Specialist: I'm dedicated to assisting patients in resolving their outstanding balances with empathy and efficiency. I understand that navigating financial matters can be challenging, and I strive to provide support and guidance every step of the way.
In my role as a Digital Communications Specialist: I leverage my expertise in SEO to boost our online presence and attract new patients to our clinic. Whether it's crafting engaging content, optimizing our website, or strategizing digital marketing campaigns, I'm passionate about utilizing the latest digital tools to connect with our community and expand our reach.
Additionally, I serve as a Patient Care Coordinator Assistant: In this capacity, I help ensure that patients are scheduled promptly and adhere to their plan of care. I also handle insurance verification to facilitate a smooth process for patient care.

When I'm not juggling these roles, you might find me on the basketball court showing off some moves, lost in the latest anime adventure, or buried in a great book.
At Living Well Therapy, we’re all about seamless experiences and top-tier care—and I’m here to make sure of that, one patient at a time.
