Debbie Mancuso, Office Managershe/her/hers
Debbie is the heart of our front office and typically the first voice you’ll hear when you reach out to PEAK. Although she works remotely from her home in Colorado, she is a core and deeply valued member of the PEAK team – and her connection to the practice shows in every conversation. She takes genuine care to understand the unique questions and concerns of every family who contacts us, spending as much time as needed to help you feel informed and confident about next steps. We consistently hear from parents how helpful and thoughtful she is, and how much her guidance meant in their decision about whether and how to pursue testing. If you’re not sure where to start, Debbie is a wonderful first call – just don’t be surprised if you don’t see her when you arrive at the office!
