Anne Fabella

Anne Fabella

Scheduler and Administrative Assistant

Anne made her way from Indiana, to the Fresno area, to different areas of SoCal, and is now setting her roots in North County San Diego. Growing up with physicians as parents and seeing certain challenges within the industry, Anne fell in love with healthcare administration, where she can help providers focus on being providers and giving their very best to their patients! This mission led her to obtain a B.S. in Biopsychology, an M.B.A. in Healthcare Management, and comprehensive experience in various roles — from Patient Care Coordinator to Practice Administrator/Office Manager and many things in between. When not striving for excellent RKT patient, provider, and staff satisfaction, Anne can be found surfing with her college-sweetheart-turned-husband, baking since both parents (yes, the physicians) have a not-so-secret sweet tooth, or giving way too many treats to her two they’re-not-fat-they’re-just-fluffy cats.
