@kaylahammerseng
Dedicated dental assistant with extensive patient care experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate dental assistant with over five years of experience in providing exceptional patient care and support in various dental settings. My journey began as a retail sales associate, where I honed my customer service skills, and transitioned into the dental field, where I have thrived in roles that require both technical expertise and compassionate patient interaction.
Currently, I work at the Dodge Correctional Institution, assisting doctors with procedures such as extractions and fillings, and managing patient scheduling to ensure a smooth workflow. Previously, I served as a medical receptionist and dental assistant at Winnebago Oral Surgery, where I developed a strong understanding of HIPAA regulations and gained hands-on experience in oral surgery procedures. My certifications in anesthesia and nitrous oxide further enhance my ability to provide safe and effective care.
