Kelly Griffin —TAY Clinician

Despite being one of the most available and helpful clinical

staff at the office, Kelly still manages to stay on top of her

documentation in a timely manner. She is eager to learn and

to help others learn. She sees what needs to be done and

simply does it

Kelly is always willing to step in to help whenever an access

call, walk-in, new referral, or new assessment comes her way.

She is friendly and always has an open door available to fellow

staff members who need to consult, chat, cry, or debrief.

Kelly is an incredible employee and an asset to not only the

Lompoc Children's Clinic but the SBC BWell family. We're

lucky to have her!

Dipak is positive, approachable, and

dedicated to resolving problems

quickly. He is patient and willing to

teach others and share information.

He takes time to explain the prob-

lem and finds options to resolve

them. Dipak takes initiative in re-

searching problems and gathering

data. He works well with colleagues

and consults with them when need-

ed. Dipak is very knowledgeable in

his work. He maintains a profession-

al and calm demeanor in stressful

and urgent matters.
