Working in the dental field for fifteen years has allowed me to gain a wealth of knowledge in: Customer service, Insurance, production, scheduling, billing, phone skills, writing letters, and managing and office. I understand the importance of accuracy, follow-thru, following up, practice growth goals, production goals, treatment presentations, and always putting the patient first
