Meet Our Staff: Jessica Morgan

If you’ve had surgery in the last year and a half, chances are you’ve met Jessica! As Dr. Strenge’s Medical Assistant, Surgical Coordinator, and our Lead MA, Jessica plays a vital role in keeping our office running smoothly and the surgery schedule full.

With 15 years of clinical healthcare experience, Jessica is often the go-to person for clinical questions and guidance. Whether she’s helping coordinate surgeries, assisting patients through their treatment journey, or supporting her teammates, she handles it all with knowledge, dedication, and a positive attitude.

When she’s not at work, you’ll likely find her cheering on her two daughters from the sidelines of a soccer field, enjoying time in a deer stand, or making memories with her husband, daughters and step kids. And recently, Jessica took on an exciting new role outside the office—she became an aunt for the very first time!

Thank you, Jessica, for everything you do for our team and our patients. We’re incredibly grateful for the knowledge, dedication and expertise she brings to our office. We are lucky to have you as part of the Strenge Spine Center family!

Meet Our Staff: Dot Hatton (known to many as Little Dot)

Dot is our medical records/administrative assistant so if you've ever received a reminder call, requested medical records, or needed help navigating the administrative side of your care, you've likely interacted with Dot!

Dot has been working alongside Dr. Strenge for an incredible 14 years, first at Orthopedic Institute and then following him to Strenge Spine Center when he opened his own practice. As our Administrative Assistant and Medical Records Specialist, she wears more hats than we can count sometimes but we couldn’t do it without her!

When she's not at the office, Dot enjoys spending time with her family and spoiling her grand-dog. You can also find her riding on the back of a motorcycle with her husband or cruising the streets in her Mustang with the windows down and the music up.

Thank you, Dot, for all you do for our patients, providers, and team. We are so lucky to have you as part of the Strenge Spine Center family!

Meet Our Staff: Melenie Swain (formerly Bishop)

Melenie serves as our Office Manager here at Strenge Spine Center, bringing nearly 20 years of healthcare experience and more than a decade of medical practice leadership to our team.

She oversees the day-to-day operations of the clinic, working closely with the providers and staff ensuring our patients receive exceptional care. Melenie is passionate about building strong teams, improving processes, and helping patients feel welcomed and supported throughout their spine care journey.

When she's not at the office, you can usually find her at a sporting event with her husband, Aaron Swain the Athletic Trainer for McCracken County High School. She also spends much of her time cheering on her daughter Brookie in both high school and all-star cheer, visiting her stepdaughter Jaci who attends college in Nebraska, and celebrating the accomplishments of her son Boston, a student at Murray State University.

Melenie's dedication to both her family and her profession reflects the values we strive to bring to our patients every day. We are grateful for her leadership and commitment to the Strenge Spine Center team!

Today we celebrate the hands, heart, and dedication behind the care our patients trust every single day. 💙

Happy National Doctor’s Day to Dr. Brandon Strenge, whose commitment to excellence, precision, and compassionate care truly sets the standard.

We’re proud to work alongside a physician who not only changes lives through surgery, but also takes the time to truly care for every patient who walks through our doors.

Thank you for all that you do!

More than care… it’s trust. 💙

And when that trust comes from another physician, it reinforces what we strive for every single day, exceptional care, real results, and a team you can count on.

At Strenge Spine Center, we deliver expert care led by the area’s only board-certified, fellowship-trained Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon. Because your spine deserves the highest level of expertise.

No referral required, no need to wait for your doctor to say you need specialty care. Take control of your health, call us for your spine care.
