Compassionate healthcare professional dedicated to improving patient experiences.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare professional with extensive experience in patient coordination and administrative support within medical settings. My journey began as an Administrative Assistant at Tamalpais Pediatrics, where I honed my skills in scheduling, patient interaction, and maintaining medical records. Over the years, I have progressed to roles such as Provider Assistant at UCSF Neurosurgery, where I secure pre-authorizations and assist patients with insurance inquiries, ensuring they receive the care they need.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to patient advocacy and effective communication. My experience spans various healthcare environments, including urgent care and orthopedics, where I have managed front office operations and provided exceptional customer service. I thrive in fast-paced settings and take pride in my ability to streamline processes, enhance patient satisfaction, and uphold HIPAA guidelines.
