Kiesa Driver
Patient Care Coordinator
Since leaving TSC in May 2022, Kiesa and her husband had a baby! Dez is a “dirtbag, adventure baby” who loves to be outside. In the last 17 months, they’ve been on road trips to Washington, Idaho and New Mexico, wine tasted in Napa, flew internationally to Germany and Italy and rafted the Eagle and Colorado Rivers. When they’re not on a wild adventure, Dez and his little brother Reggie (15 months old), are running us ragged around Eagle. The only thing more exhausting than chasing around one toddler is wrangling two!

Sarah started with Dr. Godin’s practice at The Steadman Clinic in September 2023 as Dr. Godin’s PA after completing schooling at Western Michigan University.
