- Communication Skills: Strong verbal and written skills are a must for patient messaging.
- Experience: Prior office or receptionist experience is preferred, but we are willing to train the right person with a great attitude.
- Reliable & Professional: Ability to work independently during remote hours and be a team player while in-office.
