 Hello, my name is Susan Gilman-Hicks and I am a life-long resident of the Eastern Sierras. I am very familiar with the needs of patients living in a rural community and the need for great healthcare locally.

I am highly experienced in the billing and collecting aspects of insurance. With my extensive financial background, I will work with you and your insurance plan to make sure that you get the help that you and your family deserve.
