Front Office Assistant - Hoffman Dental

Hoffman Dental • Full-time • Columbus, Ohio, United States • $23 / hour • 1d ago

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for an experienced, dependable, and patient-focused Front Office / Hygiene Coordinator who takes pride in delivering exceptional customer service and supporting a smooth, efficient schedule.

Our ideal candidate naturally leads with warmth and professionalism. They are confident managing insurance verification, patient forms, and technology-based check-in systems, while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.

This person is highly organized and proactive, with a strong ability to manage hygiene schedules, fill open appointments, and support recare systems through thoughtful and consistent patient outreach. They are comfortable making outbound calls and understand how important follow-up is in maintaining continuity of care.

We are seeking someone who can multitask, pivot quickly, and stay focused in a fast-paced environment. Schedule changes, provider preferences, and evolving patient needs do not overwhelm them — instead, they adapt with calm efficiency and a positive attitude.

Strong communication skills are essential. This role requires professional phone etiquette, timely email management, and clear documentation handling to keep the office running smoothly behind the scenes.

Most importantly, we want a team member who embraces our core values, shows up with optimism, and believes in continuous learning and growth. They welcome change, take initiative, and choose to have only good and great days — contributing to a collaborative, supportive workplace where patients feel genuinely cared for.

If you are detail-oriented, service-driven, and energized by being an integral part of a compassionate dental team, we would love to meet you.
