Meet Our Staff

Joan Gabriel - Medical Assistant

I've worked in healthcare for seven years now across different hospital units in different states. I'm deeply passionate about medicine and helping my patients feel genuinely cared for.

Away from work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and my dog, fishing, hunting, hiking, or relaxing with a novel.

Karina - Administrative Assistant

I recently moved to Montana from Texas, and I'm loving it here so far! I've worked in healthcare for about three years now, including a neurology office in Texas and now here at Montana Kidney.

I enjoy spending time with my family, especially when I'm cooking or baking something fun to share. I have a puppy that I absolutely adore, and in my free time you can usually find me reading a good book or dancing.
