I can offer over ** years experience working in dentistry. My knowledge as a scheduler and treatment coordinator has provided me the ability to manage a well-run schedule and flow of the dental office. I oversee that patients are scheduled appropriately, keep the schedule productive, fill any openings in the schedule and confirm patients are aware of their next visit. As a coordinator I’m knowledgeable with insurances and presenting plans. In addition to these skills I am extremely knowledgeable in the clinical area as well. I’ve used data entry for over twenty years to input patient medical information, as well as their demographics and verification of insurance.
