Buffy Farley, Office Manager
Originally hails from Salt Lake City Utah. Buffy joined the medical profession sparked by her desire to help others, and fascination with medicine. That drive pushed her towards various health and surgical clinics, as well as the University of Utah surgical ICU. Her introduction to The Metabolic Institute was as a patient. She was so excited about the path to wellness she had embarked upon, it was clear she wanted an opportunity to be a part of this group.
Buffy loves being outdoors with her husband G.T. and two Rottweilers: Cayenne and Bentley. Enjoys spending time with her family, especially besting her niece Gracey, and nephew Tim at all sorts of childhood games involving trampolines and squirt guns. She has an infectious laugh, undaunted sense of humor, and loves pranks. Her hobbies include: painting, cooking, camping, kayaking, hiking, riding ATV’s, fishing, shooting, and gardening.
