Worked front desk checking patients in and out. Schedule patient for appointments, referrals, assisted provider with rooming patients, taking vital signs and patient information, report to physician any problems patient may be presented with. Follow physician orders to patient and answered any questions patient may have. Scheduled sleep studies, gave physician reports of patient sleep study reports. Answered phone calls, addressed patient

problems, ordered patient supplies and machines, made sure to answer any questions and make patient appointment as comfortable as possible letting patient know by my actions. that they are our first priority and make sure. they are comfortable with any diagnosis or discussions they had with providers. Patient services are always my #1 priority and to help the provider as much as possible to make their busy lives easier. Made sure patient had information needed and made sure patient felt comfortable and was always welcomed to call me if patient had more questions. I enjoy working in healthcare. I always want every patient to leave the office knowing I truly care about their health and well being so visiting the office is an enjoyable experience.. looking to advance and learn as much as possible so I can be a valuable asset to the physician I am employed by to make their busy lives physician happy as well as all patients and co workers. I’m not afraid to jump in were needed and worried to help any one that needs my assistance. Being a good medical assistant is about patient care, observing the office rules and being the best co worker I can be. And always doing anything the physician asks of me. As I know and respect that they are the physicians and they deserve the respect for it. If given the chance I promise I will show what a benefit I can be to your office and someone who isn’t scared to always learn new skills.

Phlebotomy, vitals, charting, anatomy, physiology, administration, billing, coding, scheduling, injections, cpr first aid training, let me certification expire when I decided to help my daughter graduate high school her senior year due to her being pregnant. My children and grandkids are older so I am really ready to work. I loved ascension but I see a lot of specialist so when I seen the opening for a medical assistant for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I think it’s the perfect job for me. I am a fast learner, take direction well, and always have room to improve.
