Nicole Schechinger
@nicoleschechinger
Registered Dental Assistant combining chairside care and practice operations for better patient outcomes.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Registered Dental Assistant with 15+ years supporting general, cosmetic, implant, and oral surgery practices. I’m known for building strong patient relationships, maintaining efficient office workflows, and ensuring high-quality clinical care.
I bring hands-on chairside assisting and deep patient-care expertise—handling scheduling, referrals, charting, radiographs, and treatment coordination from first visit through completion. I also manage insurance processing and financial arrangements, including submitting claims with supporting clinical documentation.
On the operations side, I’ve led practice workflow improvements and ownership of lab cases, inventory, and vendor coordination. In lead and front-office roles, I’ve overseen patient communications and recall management, trained new clinical staff, maintained sterilization standards and infection control, and supported equipment maintenance to keep care running smoothly.
