We are a busy, patient-focused medical and surgical podiatry practice seeking a Medical Receptionist. This is a hands-on leadership role : you’ll own the front desk while guiding, training, and uplifting others.

• Command the EMR: Leverage platforms like Mod Med EMR and our various other tech platforms to schedule, input data, and follow up seamlessly.

• EMR Proficiency: Comfortable with using scheduling software and EMRs (like Mod Med, E-Clinical Works, NextGen Office, Epic or similar).
• Tech Savvy: Ability to master our EMR system (we use Mod Med) and various other tech platforms within 30 days of hire. 
• Insurance Expertise: Strong knowledge of insurance verification, co-pays, and patient communication.
• Composure + Charisma: Professional, calm, and approachable even under pressure.
• Bilingual Advantage (Preferred): English/Spanish fluency is a plus (not required).
• Service-First Attitude: You anticipate needs, think ahead, and prioritize the patient experience.
• Ownership Mentality: You don’t just “do the job”—you improve it, elevate it, and lead others along the way.
• Collaboration Mindset: You thrive in a team-based environment and value strong communication with providers and clinical staff.

Benefits & Compensation

• Compensation ranges from $19 to $23/hr, commensurate with experience, skills, and long-term contribution
