Medical Secretary/Technician Job at Elk Grove Optometry in Elk Grove

Medical Secretary/Technician Needed
 This position is a great fit for someone who has a love of technology and is service-driven. Our busy practice needs a motivated compassionate team player to help us give patients a 5-star experience every time they’re here. This is a full-time position offering the stability of a career in healthcare with a team of reliable and upbeat professionals.
NO Experience Needed:
 Prior medical office or eyecare experience can be helpful, but certainly not required. We are happy to train the right person with a great attitude, a helpful heart, and a love of learning! We will make sure you’re totally confident working with the equipment and patients before you start handling these tasks alone! 
 You’ll be handling a lot of the important work that goes on to set the doctor and the patient up 
for success. 
Some of your duties will include:
-       Taking the patient back to the exam room and verifying their medical history, addressing concerns and documenting changes.
-       Ensure our patients are comfortable and well-informed at all times; we will explain every exam and procedure and answer all of our patient's questions in a professional and caring manner.
-       Spending 15+ minutes with each patient before the doctor, performing duties such as measuring retinal function, peripheral vision, and retinal thickness;  taking retinal photographs and scans of meibomian glands. (You’ll be using the same type of instruments NASA uses on the space station!) These are some examples and not necessarily all-inclusive.
-       “Auto - refracting” the patient, which means starting the process of finding the patient’s eyeglass prescription before the doctor comes in to refine it.
-       Consistent cross-training for optimum career growth and development (expected and offered).
-       Occasionally greet patients while assisting them with check-in, answer questions about services, scheduling appointments, and validating insurance status in a professional and caring manner.
-       Educating first-timers on the proper care and use of contact lenses while reinforcing the best practices for existing wearers.
-       Ordering proper tests based on the doctor’s diagnosis.
 If you want a career where you can directly impact the well-being of your community, this is it!
