Emily Brakenhoff
Care Coordinator
A native Rhode Islander, Emily brings an extensive background in the hospitality industry and a genuine passion for creating a warm, welcoming experience for every person she interacts with. She deeply understands the importance of feeling heard, respected, and cared for in the healthcare space — something that can often feel missing in large, busy offices. From a patient’s very first phone call, to preparing for their initial appointment, settling in at their evaluation, and supporting them throughout their plan of care, Emily helps ensure each individual feels comfortable, supported, and valued every step of the way.
Outside of the office, Emily enjoys spending time sailing, skiing, and exploring local gems throughout Rhode Island and New England.
"Emily consistently welcomed me into the office with a smile. She was responsive to calls and emails, and made scheduling a breeze!" -Jaimee K.
