With one of my most recent employements in an optical clinic I work daily helping patients with an auto refractor, visual field computer and a brand new Topcon OCT. Love working with teams to better patient outcomes and goals. I am detail oriented keeping files up to date and directing records where they need to go. I have very ledgible handrwitting, majority of my past jobs have me writing the outgoing envelopes and other outgoing information.
I strive to help patients and the clinic within necessary means. The goal is to have provider/clinic/s and teams and the patient in unison. Having worked hands on with patients I strive to make people smile. Stressfull situations are more confruntable when a bit of cheer is brought.
I have 8 years of medical office experience as well as 8+ years Customer Service. Some of my qualifications are as follows; Medical Office and Billing Certifications, Medical Terminology and Pharmacology, flexible, hardworking contributor, and frequent use of Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Outlook.
