About the Role

The Treatment Coordinator serves as the bridge between the treatment recommended by our clinical team and the patient’s commitment to moving forward with care.

This role is responsible for helping patients fully understand their treatment needs, feel confident in their options, and remain supported throughout the financial, scheduling, and treatment acceptance process. The Treatment Coordinator serves as both a patient advocate and an operational partner to the Dentists and office leadership team.

This is not simply a scheduling or front-desk position. The Treatment Coordinator directly impacts patient trust, treatment acceptance, patient retention, collections, schedule productivity, practice growth, and the overall patient experience.

Success in this role requires emotional intelligence, confidence, professionalism, organization, strong communication and financial conversation skills, operational awareness, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through.
