The Role

We are seeking a full-time Treatment & Appointment Coordinator to serve as a primary point of contact for patients throughout their care.

This is an active, detail-driven role that requires focus and follow-through throughout the day. The ideal person enjoys being productive and mentally engaged from start to finish, takes ownership of their responsibilities, and thrives in a structured, professional setting.

Dental experience is a plus but not required - we'll provide comprehensive training for the right person.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and explain treatment plans with clarity and confidence
• Coordinate patient appointments and schedules efficiently
• Discuss financial options professionally and answer patient questions thoroughly
• Communicate effectively with doctors, hygienists, and team members
• Maintain accurate records and follow through consistently on patient needs

What We're Looking For (Non-Negotiables)

• 2+ years of customer-facing experience requiring professionalism and judgment
• Strong verbal communication, listening, and comprehension skills
• Comfort with computers and multiple software systems
• Strong attention to detail in a fast-paced setting
• Dependable, self-motivated, and accountable - able to complete work without close supervision
• Comfortable working toward clear goals and performance expectations

Helpful, But Not Required

• Dental or healthcare office experience
• Familiarity with insurance, billing, or payment discussions
• Experience with scheduling or customer management software

This Role May Be a Good Fit If You:

• Prefer work that keeps you mentally engaged and involved throughout the day
• Take pride in accuracy, follow-through, and doing things the right way
• Take ownership of your responsibilities without needing constant direction
• Communicate clearly and warmly with a wide range of people
• Are looking for long-term growth within a supportive, professional team

Why Join Us?

If you are interested in joining a dedicated, professional team who makes a difference in our community and improves the lives of patients every day, we'd love to hear from you. This is more than a job - it's a place to grow, contribute, and be genuinely valued.
