Tahlequah, OK 74464
Office Manager
Actually this job started out on a consulting basis. The physician was
seeing more patients doing more surgeries and making less money. The
practice management system they were using was a dinosaur. I suggested he
change to a system that was user friendly and efficient. The change was
made and his collections increased, the office schedule was more efficient
and the billing was much easier to keep up with. He then offered me a full
time position.
