I manage accurate, HIPAA-compliant health records and digital clinical documentation across dental care settings.
What I'm looking for
I'm building a long-term career in health information management while pursuing an M.S. in Health Information Management and Technology. My work combines more than five years of clinical and administrative experience with hands-on medical records, privacy, and documentation responsibilities.
At Bethesda Smiles, I maintain compliant records for implant, prosthodontic, orthodontic, and periodontal cases, integrating iTero scans and Sidexis imaging into practice systems. Previously, I organized radiographs and clinical documentation at Century Dental and supported oral surgery and implant workflows at Starbrite Dental.
My background as a dentist across hospital and private-practice settings includes maintaining electronic documentation in Open Dental, creating treatment plans for 50+ patients monthly, coordinating referrals, and documenting consent and outcomes. I bring practical experience with HIPAA compliance, release of information, chart digitization, data accuracy, and high-volume patient communication.
