Summary
I have been trained extensively by my current employer. I have developed the skills and confidence necessary to perform effectively during procedures. I have independently seen patients for minor procedures, allowing the doctor time to focus on more complex cases and improving overall patient flow. I am quick, efficient, highly energetic, and I approach every task with a commitment to excellence.
