Almira Kolenovic
Nutley,NJ
Summary
My name is Almira Kolenovic I have been in dental for the past 13 years. I started off with filing charts as a part time job and then ended up with managing offices. I have done everything from treatment planning $40,000 cases, to financing, billing and appealing major services. I do love my offices but I am also in need of something more remote at this time in my life. I am looking for the right office to provide my services and make it easier on the practice. Along with doing dental work, dealing with patients and employees understanding insurance claims and billing insurances can be time consuming and frustrating. Thats what I am here for! I look forward to working with you.
