What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth while contributing to a supportive team.

I am a dedicated healthcare professional with extensive experience in patient coordination and scheduling. Currently, I serve as a Team Lead and Remote Central Scheduler, where I manage appointment scheduling for 13 specialties, ensuring that patients receive timely care. My role involves not only greeting patients but also confirming and rescheduling appointments, documenting calls, and assisting with medication refills and referrals. I take pride in my ability to streamline processes and enhance patient satisfaction.

Previously, I worked as a Front Desk Dental Receptionist, where I honed my skills in patient registration and appointment management. I was responsible for greeting patients, verifying insurance eligibility, and assisting with translations for Spanish-speaking patients. My experience as a Patient Coordinator further solidified my commitment to providing exceptional patient care, as I assisted with paperwork, prepared for x-rays, and maintained patient charts. I am passionate about learning new skills and contributing positively to my team.
