What are the responsibilities and job description for the Medical Assistant Dermatology and Aesthetics (Private Practice) position at LEGACY DERMATOLOGY GROUP PC?
Medical, Surgical & Aesthetic Dermatology
Highland Township & Waterford Township, Michigan
Full-Time
Legacy Dermatology Group is a physician-owned dermatology practice with two Oakland County locations. We treat skin cancer, provide complex medical dermatology, surgical dermatology, Mohs micrographic surgery and aesthetic medicine. Our medical assistants are not order-takers. They are the second set of hands and the second brain in every room, and the pace of our clinic reflects that.
We are looking for one exceptional medical assistant to join our clinical team. This is a hands-on role in a small, tightly run practice where good work is noticed immediately.
What You'll Do
Required: High school diploma or equivalent; strong written and verbal communication; basic computer and EHR proficiency; typing proficiency; reliable transportation between our Highland and Waterford locations
Preferred: CMA, RMA, or CCMA certification; completion of a medical assistant program; prior clinical, surgical, or dermatology experience; coursework or a degree in a health science field. Certification is preferred but not required — the right candidate with the right aptitude will be trained.
What We Offer
Send your resume and a short note telling us why this role — and why now — to teamlead@legacydermatologygroup.com. Applications are reviewed as they arrive and interviews are scheduled on a rolling basis.

We are looking for one exceptional medical assistant to join our clinical team. This is a hands-on role in a small, tightly run practice where good work is noticed immediately.
What You'll Do
- Room, prep, and interview patients — accurate history, current medications, and a clear reason for the visit before the provider walks in.
- Assist directly with in-office procedures: biopsies, excisions, cryotherapy, injections, and Mohs micrographic surgery.
- Set up and break down sterile trays, handle and label specimens for our on-site lab, and maintain instrument sterilization logs.
- Document in real time in our MODERN electronic health record and manage the provider's inbox tasks — results, refills, and patient messages — so nothing sits.
- Capture clinical and before-and-after photography and obtain signed consents for every procedure.
- Call patients with pathology results and post-operative instructions under provider direction.
- Keep exam rooms stocked, clean, and turned over.
- You are genuinely bright — you learn a procedure once and you have it.
- You move with urgency without looking rushed in front of a patient.
- You are unbothered by blood, sutures, and surgical specimens.
- You are meticulous. In dermatology, the difference between a few millimeters counts.
- You are warm with anxious patients — many of ours are here because they just heard the word "cancer."
- You take feedback as information, not as criticism.
- You are comfortable with technology and pick up new software quickly.

What We Offer
- A predictable schedule: 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. Friday 8:00-1:00pm. No call, no nights, no weekends, no holidays.
- Health insurance, paid time off, paid holidays, uniform stipend, injectables, skin care and retirement plan participation.
- Employee and family pricing on cosmetic services and skincare, plus a practice-wide product incentive program.
- A modern, fully digital practice — cloud-based EHR, digital charting and photography, electronic prescribing, and current surgical and aesthetic technology. You will not be chasing paper charts.
- Structured onboarding and hands-on training in dermatologic and surgical technique.
- Daily, direct teaching from board-certified dermatologists. Our medical assistants leave here knowing more medicine than when they arrived — several have gone on to advanced clinical training, and we support that.
- A small team where your contribution is visible and your ideas are appreciated.
