Eunik Vann, Medical Assistant

Hi! My name is Eunik, and I have been working at Auria Medical Clinics as a Medical Assistant for over 3 years. I started as an MA student and have loved it ever since. My favorite part about my job is the patients. I love interacting with them every day and making them smile! I enjoy going to the park, reading, and countless DIY activities when I'm not at work. If I had to pick a quote that best represents me, I would say, “It costs nothing to be nice.” If I can make one person smile, my day will be made.

Tonya Maner, Receptionist

Hello! My name is Tonya Maner. I've worked for Auria Medical Clinics as the front desk scheduler for three wonderful years. I am a mother of seven beautiful children and my rescue dog, Maggie, who is now five years old. My hobbies are movies, coloring, and reading. The thing that motivates me the most in life is being able to help people and make them smile. It is the best feeling ever!

My favorite quote is, “Make a habit of two things: to help or at least do no harm.” Love as many as you can and help those who need it. You’ll never see any greater satisfaction than that.

Stay sweet!!
