Medical Assistant
📋 Role Overview & Responsibilities
Company DescriptionWe are an office of Oral Medicine specialists, and we see patients with issues of oral mucosal pathology, orofacial pain, oral neuropathy, facial neuralgia, hyposalivation, taste disorders, orofacial sensory disorders, atypical dental pain, and myofascial headaches where other dental and medical specialists are not as trained or focused to evaluate and manage these orofacial problems as much as we are. We often get referrals from Otolaryngology, Rheumatology, Dermatology, and Internal Medicine because they recognize us as the rheumatologists, dermatologists, and internists of the oral cavity.Even though Oral Medicine is a dental specialty, we use the medical biopsychosocial model and medical EMR to record patient encounters, and we are contracted with medical rather than dental insurance companies.
