What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare professional with extensive experience in patient care and administrative roles. My journey began as a Dental Assistant, where I honed my skills in patient coordination and clinical support. Over the years, I have transitioned into roles that emphasize my organizational and communication abilities, particularly as a Surgery Scheduler and Patient Care Tech.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to multitask and adapt to fast-paced environments. I take pride in my attention to detail and my commitment to providing exceptional patient care. My experience spans various healthcare settings, allowing me to develop a well-rounded skill set that includes insurance verification, treatment presentation, and patient consultations.
I am now seeking a position that will allow me to leverage my skills while continuing to grow both professionally and personally. I am eager to contribute to a team that values effective communication and patient-centered care.
