Luma Pediatric Dental – Howell, NJ (Opening April 2026)

Luma Pediatric Dental is a brand-new pediatric dental practice opening in April 2026 in Howell, NJ. We are building a warm, light-filled, family-centered environment where children feel safe and parents feel supported from the moment they walk through the door.

We are seeking a kind, detail-oriented, and highly dependable Patient Coordinator to serve as the welcoming face and organizational anchor of our practice.

This is an opportunity to join as a founding team member and grow alongside a startup practice with a long-term vision.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Are naturally warm, friendly, and professional
• Genuinely enjoy interacting with children and families
• Have strong attention to detail
• Take pride in organization and accuracy
• Are proactive and self-motivated
• Maintain calm and composure on busy days
• Are looking for a long-term home, not just a temporary job

Experience Preferred

• Dental front desk experience preferred, but not necessary. Customer service experience a plus.
• Experience verifying insurance benefits
• Familiarity with PPO plans, claims submission, and payment posting
• Understanding of treatment presentation and financial discussions
• Comfort with scheduling efficiency and recall management
• Experience with Dentrix (Ascend preferred, but not required)

We are seeking someone confident in insurance workflows and capable of helping build strong systems as we grow.

Responsibilities

• Greeting and checking in patients warmly
• Managing phone calls and scheduling
• Verifying insurance benefits and explaining coverage clearly
• Submitting and tracking insurance claims
• Posting payments accurately
• Presenting treatment plans and financial arrangements
• Maintaining organized patient records
• Supporting overall office flow and communication

Schedule & Growth

• Part-time to start as we build the practice
• Anticipated start date: Late March / Early April 2026
• Opportunity to transition into full-time as the practice expands
• Long-term growth opportunity for leadership as the practice scales

Compensation & Development

• Competitive hourly pay: $20–$32 per hour, based on experience
• Paid training prior to opening
• Performance-based raises
• Future full-time benefits potential as we expand

This is not just a front desk position — it is a leadership role in shaping the patient experience and operational foundation of a growing pediatric dental practice.

We are looking for someone who combines kindness with competence — someone who cares deeply about families while also valuing accuracy, efficiency, and teamwork.

If you are organized, compassionate, and excited to grow with a startup practice, we would love to meet you.
