What I'm looking for
I’m a certified dental assistant with over 17 years of expertise, focused on building an excellent rapport with both providers and patients. I work well as a member of a team, with a strong eye for detail, and I’m efficient when prepping exam rooms using standard infection control procedures.
Throughout my roles, I’ve supported clinicians chairside, assisted with dental and orthodontic care (including adjustments), and prepared patients and instruments for expected needs. I also handle clerical responsibilities like patient scheduling, medical reporting to referring doctors, accounts receivable, and maintaining organized records with strong customer service.
