We are adding an experienced Medical Assistant to our busy Plastic Surgery clinic to assist our Plastic Surgeons. The Medical Assistant will provide assistance at the direction of the surgeon and facilitate high-end patient care within his or her scope of practice of medical training. Physician is seeing between 20-30 patients per clinic day, so being comfortable with a high-volume, high-pace practice is a MUST. We also perform in-office surgeries (Face Lift, Neck Lift and Scar Revisions); setting up surgical trays and being present and comfortable during the procedures is important.

- Works collaboratively with clinic staff on programs to improve patient outcomes.
