We’re a small, dedicated pediatric dental team that truly cares about the families we serve—and each other. We're currently looking for a Patient Care Coordinator who is warm, dependable, and confident managing day-to-day front office responsibilities. If you're someone who enjoys working in a team environment but doesn’t need hand-holding to get the job done, we’d love to meet you.

  • Managing appointments, insurance verifications, and patient records

  • Helping keep the day running smoothly and on time

  • Communicating clearly with both parents and our clinical team

  • Occasionally traveling to our Kent, WA location as office needs arise

What We’re Looking For:
  • A self-starter who can stay on top of details and stay calm under pressure

  • Previous experience in a dental or medical front office (preferred)

  • Someone who enjoys working with children and families

  • A great communicator who is organized, reliable, and kind

  • Comfortable learning new systems and working independently

Why Join Us:
  • We’re a close-knit, supportive team—not a corporate chain

  • No weekends – a consistent Monday through Friday schedule

  • Opportunities to grow with a practice that values your contribution

  • The joy of building relationships with families and seeing kids grow up in your care

If you’re looking for a role where your reliability, professionalism, and people skills are truly appreciated, we’d love to talk with you.
