6. Patient Communication & Support

• Handle all incoming patient inquiries via phone, email, and patient portals with empathy and professionalism.
• Provide pre-operative and post-operative instructions, collect and send patient forms.

• Ensure compliance with HIPAA, OSHA, and internal documentation policies.
• Maintain digital and paper records in a secure, organized fashion.
