About The Position

We are seeking a highly organized, bilingual Treatment Coordinator / Office Manager to join a busy and established dental practice in East Baltimore, Maryland. This opportunity is ideal for someone who can take immediate ownership of treatment coordination, scheduling, patient financial conversations, and administrative follow-through while developing into a broader practice management role. The practice is specifically looking for someone who sees what needs to be done and takes responsibility for making sure it happens. The right candidate will help create a more efficient schedule, improve patient follow-through, collect necessary deposits, clearly explain insurance benefits, and reduce the administrative burden currently being carried by practice leadership. We are open to both experienced dental professionals who are already operating at a high level and high-potential candidates who have the drive and aptitude to grow into a larger management position. Bilingual English/Spanish fluency is required for this opportunity. This is a busy, established dental practice serving a diverse patient population in East Baltimore and the surrounding Baltimore communities. The office has historically generated more than $4 million in annual revenue and is continuing to rebuild production following the departure of an associate provider. Approximately 50% of the practice's patient population is Medicaid, making strong knowledge of patient benefits, scheduling, financial communication, and administrative follow-through particularly valuable. The practice uses the traditional desktop version of Dentrix and is looking for someone who can bring greater organization, accountability, and consistency to the administrative side of the business. East Baltimore offers convenient access to communities throughout the Baltimore metropolitan area and is home to a large and diverse healthcare workforce, making this an excellent opportunity for an experienced dental professional seeking a long-term leadership position.
