This isn't a "sit at the desk and answer the phone" job.
It's a front-of-house seat for someone who wants to own the patient experience β not just process it. If you've ever left a shift thinking "I could run this front desk better than it's being run" β we should talk.
The Role
You're the first and last impression of our practice, and you own five things:
The appointment book β full chairs, no-shows chased, gaps filled before they cost us.
The money β every dollar in, every dollar accounted for, every day closed clean.
Patient arrival β every patient ready for the chair, every clinician ready for the patient.
Patient records & referrals β nothing lost, nothing late, nothing falling through the cracks.
Patient satisfaction β patients who leave happier than they arrived and tell someone about it.
You won't be micromanaged. You'll be trusted, backed, and held to a high standard β because that's what good people want.
You'll Fit Here If
You've done front desk, dental reception, customer service, medical admin, or premium hospitality
You're the person teammates rely on to actually follow through
You stay calm when the waiting room is full and two lines are ringing
A clean reconciliation genuinely satisfies you
You like people β and it shows in how you talk to them
What We Offer
A team that lives its values: Compassion, Positive Attitude, Patient Experience, Professionalism, Integrity, Accountability
MonβFri hours β your weekends are yours
Real career growth in a growing practice
Modern systems, ongoing training, clear expectations
