Patient Coordinator

At Simply Orthodontics, the Patient Coordinator is more than a front desk role — you are the first impression and a key part of creating a welcoming, positive experience for every patient and family. From check-in to scheduling future visits, you help keep the office running smoothly while ensuring patients feel comfortable and supported throughout their orthodontic journey. If you thrive in a fast-paced, patient-focused environment and know how to keep a busy schedule organized, we’d love to meet you. 

This role travels with the team to both offices in Worcester, MA and Fitchburg, MA.

• Create a welcoming, high-energy environment by greeting patients and families and setting the tone for an exceptional visit

• Serve as the connection point between patients, families, and the clinical team, ensuring smooth communication and seamless handoffs throughout the day  

• Support patients through their visit — from check-in to check-out — including scheduling future appointments, collecting payments, and answering general questions  

• Stay ahead of the schedule by confirming appointments, verifying insurance, managing recalls, and following up with missed or overdue appointments  

• Maintain accurate patient records and ensure all documentation and processes align with HIPAA standards  

• Contribute to a clean, organized, and professional front office environment
