Overview

Treatment Coordination in Practice

As specialists in their fields, many dentists have expressed that due to changing patient expectations they feel more comfortable hiring or training someone within their team to present treatment and treatment plans to patients.

As the communication bridge between the patient and the dentist, a dental Treatment Coordinator is a high profile position. In this role, the treatment coordinator will work closely with the dentist to ensure that the dental patient understands the treatment itself and why it is needed.  An effective Treatment Coordinator will help the patient get their financial arrangements made and make sure the patient will schedule, attend and pay for their treatment.  

Organisation, excellent communication skills, a positive attitude, dental treatment knowledge and the ability to multi-task are keys to your success as a Dental Treatment Coordinator.
