Eve Palomino,
Scheduler
My name is Eve Palomino and I’m a proud employee of Longhorn Brain & Spine. As a Scheduler, my goal is to find the ideal date for you or your family member to come in and get the help they need. It brings me great joy being able to help families through the process of recovery. When I’m not at the office or working from home, I can be found with my family, watching movies, doing crafts, or out in my backyard tending to my garden. As a mother of four and grandmother of two, I understand the importance of family.
