What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a medical team where I can support patients day-to-day—covering patient intake, scheduling, billing/coding, and clinical assisting—while using my long surgical assistant background to help procedures run smoothly and safely.

I’m a medical assistant with hands-on experience supporting patients and procedures, including front office coordination, patient intake, and assisting in clinical and surgical settings. I’m known for careful sterilization habits, reliable follow-through, and clear communication with patients and teams.

Across multiple practices, I’ve performed core clinical tasks such as EKGs, phlebotomy, urinalysis, x-rays, injections, and assisting in minor procedures. I also handled patient flow responsibilities like scheduling appointments, checking patients in and out, and posting charges when needed.

In surgical roles, I’ve served as a surgical assistant and lead surgical assistant—assisting in major and minor surgeries, sterilizing and wrapping instruments, setting up procedures, restocking supplies, and supporting pre-op preparation. I’ve also managed documentation and operational details such as inventory ordering, surgical photos, and autoclave temperature/Cidex log maintenance.

I bring strong administrative accuracy too: CPT and ICD coding, medical records management, billing and insurance forms, and prescription call-ins and refills. Whether working in back-office care or front-office coordination, I focus on dependable service, patient support, and maintaining compliant, well-organized workflows.
