Dental Patient Coordinator

Signature Dental Group • Full-time • Delray Beach, Florida, United States • $18 - $24 / hour • 6d ago

About Us

Signature Dental Group is a thriving multi-specialty family dental practice dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care in a warm, welcoming environment. Led by a team of highly skilled doctors, our practice offers a full range of dental services under one roof — from general dentistry and orthodontics to periodontics and implant dentistry. We are a close-knit, family-oriented team that takes pride in the experience we create for every patient who walks through our doors. We are looking for someone who shares that same commitment to excellence.

Position Overview

The Patient Coordinator is the heartbeat of our front office. You are the first voice a patient hears when they call and the first face they see when they arrive. Your role is far more than answering phones and scheduling appointments — you are a brand ambassador, a patient advocate, and a key driver of the practice's growth and reputation. The ideal candidate is warm, organized, professionally polished, and genuinely passionate about helping people feel comfortable and cared for from the moment they make first contact with our office.

Greet every patient with a genuine, warm welcome — in person and over the phone
Create a first impression that reflects the standard of care our patients can expect from our entire team
Answer incoming calls promptly, professionally, and with enthusiasm
Respond to patient inquiries via phone, email, and text in a timely and courteous manner
Ensure every patient feels heard, valued, and at ease throughout their visit
Manage and resolve patient concerns with empathy, professionalism, and sound judgment
Follow up with patients after treatment to check on their experience and comfort

Scheduling & Practice Coordination

Schedule, confirm, and manage patient appointments across multiple providers and specialties
Maintain a full and productive schedule by proactively filling cancellations and last-minute openings
Coordinate referrals between in-house specialties and outside providers as needed
Manage recall and reappointment systems to keep the patient base active and engaged
Monitor the daily schedule for efficiency and communicate any changes to the clinical team

Process new patient paperwork and registration efficiently
Manage and maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming front desk and reception area
Handle incoming and outgoing correspondence, referral letters, and documentation
Assist with end-of-day reporting, reconciliation, and office close-out procedures

What We Are Looking For

Minimum 2 years of experience in a dental or medical front office setting strongly preferred
Familiarity with dental practice management software (Eaglesoft, Dentrix, or similar)
Working knowledge of dental insurance, billing, and benefit verification
Proficiency in Microsoft Office and general computer skills
Bilingual in English and Spanish strongly preferred

Character & Soft Skills

Genuinely warm, personable, and patient-centered — this is non-negotiable

A proactive team player who takes initiative and ownership of their role
Impeccable personal presentation and professional demeanor
A positive attitude and the ability to bring energy and warmth to every interaction
Reliable, punctual, and deeply committed to doing things the right way

What Sets the Ideal Candidate Apart

The person who thrives in this role understands that the front desk is not a support function — it is a leadership position within the patient experience. You don't wait to be told what needs to be done. You notice when the schedule has a gap and you fill it. You notice when a patient looks nervous and you say the right thing to put them at ease. You treat every patient like they are the most important person in the building — because to us, they are. You take pride in the reputation of this practice as if it were your own.
