• Schedule consultations, procedures, diagnostics, rechecks, and drop-offs in ezyVet, ensuring smooth appointment flow.
• Coordinate with doctors, technicians, CSRs, and specialty/ECC teams on case management, transfers, and prioritization.
• Gather, organize, and prepare all medical records, imaging, lab results, and charts ahead of appointments.
• Create and review estimates, consent forms, registration documents, and discharges; support accurate charge capture.
• Assist with checkouts, follow-ups, cancellations, and departmental administrative tracking as needed.
• Provide occasional floor support, including patient intake/discharge, room setup, transport, and workflow assistance.
• Uphold exceptional professionalism, organization, accountability, and adaptability as caseloads and services evolve.
