Tandi
Patient Coordinator
I started with Family Eye Health Center June of 2024. I can’t start my day off without coffee! Being a receptionist, I need all the energy I can get. I enjoy going to the lake, walking trails, doing crafts and playing with my fur babies (cats). I love spending time with nature, with God and my family and friends. I also work part time for the city of Des Moines helping set up events and kiddo/adult sports which keeps me busy when I am not answering your call or checking you in and out from your appointment.
