Medical Assistant at a Oculofacial Plastic Surgery Clinic

As a part-time Medical Assistant, you will work up patients and assist with office procedures while providing exceptional patient care, educating patients on skincare, and wowing them every step of the way. Our oculoplastics practice in Mount Pleasant, SC, is looking for a warm, friendly, and patient-focused team member who goes the extra mile, treating every patient as if they were their own family member.

This is a highly engaged, patient-facing role in a boutique practice where every detail matters. We are not a large hospital setting with rigid roles and downtime between tasks. Our team members are proactive, anticipate needs, and take initiative throughout the day.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and take pride in going above and beyond for patients, you will do very well here. If you prefer a slower-paced role with clearly defined, repetitive tasks, this position may not be the right fit.
