My name is Jen Kniffen and have been employed with Fairfield County Bariatrics in Norwalk, CT since 2012. I became a CPC in 2011 and a CGSC in 2016. In August 2015 I relocated to Altamonte Springs, FL and have been working remotely for Fairfield County Bariatrics since. The practice is now being dissolved, therefore my employment with them will come to an end.
Would like to find a job where I can continue working with surgeons and eventually have the option to work remotely.
