ROBIN NORRIS

Dunnellon

Summary

I'm looking for my last dental home. I'm available Monday through Thursday since I volunteer at Nature Coast Ministries Dental Clinic on Wednesday evenings and Fridays. I prefer chair side assisting, but am skilled in front office tasks when with some insurance experience. I'm familiar with Practiceworks, Dentrix, Open Dental, and Eaglesoft computer programs. In addition, I have some experience with Trios, Itero and Cerec scanners. I enjoy fabricating crown and bridge provisionals and presenting treatment plans. I have experience in training/teaching new dental assistants. I am a team player, have a cheerful disposition, and a gentle touch, making me an asset to any dental practice.
