Dental Serenity, NYC (2014-2015)
Dental Serenity is an upscale, Ā modern general and cosmetic dental practice in NYC. It provides an array of services ranging from preventative, restorative, endodontic and orthodontic treatment. They also specialize in Invisalign treatment and Six-Month-Smiles cosmetic orthodontic brackets. During my time with Dental Serenity, I was able to build life long patient relationships and earn a tremendous amount of knowledge in the dental field. However, due to my decision to pursue a career in Dental Hygiene, my schedule did not permit me to continue my employment with the practice. My responsibilities while I was there included but are not limited to the following:
- Lead office receptionist and patient care coordinator that was responsible for developing treatment plan appointments, fees, insurance billing, employee schedules, interviewing potential employees and collecting payments.
- All patient communication was done with me prior to their appointments and after their appointments.
- Registered the practice as a participating doctor with multiple insurance carriers, appealed claims, updated licenses, developed a recall system and collection policy.
- Updated and responded to all patient reviews and search engines pertaining to the practice, including social media.
- Networked with other specialists in the NYC area and developed outstanding relationships which in return developed into a high patient base referral system.
- Managed all outgoing laboratory cases and Invisalign inventory.
