Sahira Orozco
@sahiraorozco
Certified Medical Assistant delivering exceptional surgical, aesthetic, and patient-care coordination for high-efficiency clinics.
What I'm looking for
I’m a certified Medical Assistant with over 7 years in plastic surgery, aesthetics, and patient care coordination. I support providers in surgeries and routine procedures, prepare exam/operating rooms, and deliver compassionate, high-touch experiences from check-in through follow-up.
Across med spa and surgery settings, I also own front desk and patient liaison responsibilities—verifying appointments, managing payments and documentation, scheduling next steps, and helping coordinate “champion patients” for online stories. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, skilled in patient education and sales support, and I work confidently with EMR/EHR systems like Epic while maintaining HIPAA/OSHA compliance.
