What we need from you

Reliability. Regular, predictable, on-time attendance for your full scheduled shift is an essential function of this job. The front desk cannot open without you.

Presence. This is an in-person role. You are engaged, attentive to the patient in front of you, and smiling with a great warm tone.

A good attitude. You stay calm, friendly, and professional with a ringing phone, a full lobby, and an upset patient all at once.

Team first. You jump in without being asked, communicate openly, and help the whole office succeed.

Comfort with money conversations. You can talk about cost and ask for payment clearly and confidently, without pressure and without avoiding it.

Ownership of the schedule. You treat an open slot or a patient leaving without an appointment as a problem to solve.

Attention to detail. Insurance, payments, and patient information are right the first time.

Professional presentation. As the face of the practice, you maintain a high standard for personal hygiene, grooming, and professional dress every shift.
