About The Position

The best assistants have the instrument in the doctor's hand before she asks for it. That's not a skill you're born with. It comes from reading tomorrow's schedule tonight, knowing what's coming, and setting the room up so the day runs instead of stumbling. If that's how you already work, we want to talk to you. SmileHQ has taken care of families in Prince George's County for over 20 years. We move fast, we run a full schedule, and we need someone in the back who thinks two steps ahead.
