What I'm looking for

I am seeking a patient-focused role in a collaborative dental practice where I can apply clinical chairside skills, support efficient office operations, and contribute to excellent patient care and practice growth.

I am an experienced dental assistant with over a decade supporting day-to-day clinical operations, patient scheduling, billing, and infection-control protocols. I consistently deliver four-handed dentistry, digital x-rays, sterilization, inventory management, and administrative support to keep a busy practice running smoothly.

I bring strong communication, customer-service, and team-management skills, plus certifications including BLS/CPR and training in OSHA and HIPAA compliance. I have experience with practice management systems (Open Dental, Carestream), CPT coding, and medical billing, and I prioritize safe, compassionate patient care and efficient office workflows.
