Medical Receptionist / Front Desk — caring, organized professional wanted for a family-centered therapy practice in Carbondale.
Synergy Therapeutic Group is a well-established physical and occupational therapy clinic in Carbondale, IL, with 230 five-star reviews and a reputation for treating every patient and family like they matter.

- Prior front desk, medical office, or customer-service experience

- Greet and check in patients and families, in person and by phone
- Schedule, confirm, and reschedule appointments and manage the daily calendar
- Verify insurance benefits and explain coverage and policies clearly and kindly
- Collect and record payments accurately

We back our team with real benefits — health, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, and short- and long-term disability coverage. If you want to do work that matters in a supportive, close-knit team — and grow with a practice that's building something bigger — we'd love to meet you.
