- Coordinate Care: Serve as the primary point of contact for patients, coordinating appointments, treatment schedules, financial contracts, and next steps.
- Build strong relationships with patients and families throughout their treatment journey.
- Work closely with the orthodontist and clinical team to ensure a smooth transition from consultation to treatment.
- Maintain accurate patient records and follow-up documentation.
