• Posting payments accurately
• Presenting treatment plans and financial arrangements
• Maintaining organized patient records

Compensation & Development

• Competitive hourly pay: $22–$32 per hour, based on experience

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.
