Front Office Coordinator Lead

Description

At Sight360, we believe sight is our most important sense. It is a priceless gift that goes far beyond how you see the world. Sight is how we move through life, enjoy its wonders and form the memories that define us. That is why we are dedicated to care for our patient’s sight every day.

We’ve assembled the most capable and credentialed multidisciplinary teams across every specialty of vision health – ophthalmology, optometry and optical retail services – to deliver a complete, 360-degree approach to vision care. One seamless patient experience. While we do share a single medical record that allows us to collaborate and coordinate care across all locations and providers, more importantly, we share a common belief and set of principles that guide us as we care for our patients.
