Co-worker were cooperative, our physcian did not provide specific instructions some time. Our patient was enjoyable, my staff and co worker was enjoyable made the day by encourgeing staff and working together as a team. – less

Very busy office and kind of gets hectic. Stressful job at times

Place sucks!!! They are so racist there.....if you're a minority, come into work drunk, they'll send u home and your job is safe....but if you're white and have a medical issue, watch out...they'll let you go if you're medically absent more than one day!

This medical office was constantly filled with patients in need of healthcare. A typical day at my externship site was I showed up at 8:00 in the morning signed in and began checking that exam rooms were stocked, lights turned on, and checking to make sure all equipment worked; as well as, checking the temperature on the refrigerator with the medication – more... in it. Each week I worked in different areas of the medical office. Some days I would be in the front office, checking in patients, verifying patient information and insurances, collecting payments, and scheduling future appointments.Other days I would be working in the back office either, conducting triage, collecting patient history, vitals, and medication lists; or drawing blood for tests, spinning tubes down on the centrifuge, conducting urinalysis, pregnancy tests, inputting test results into patient files on EHR, taking patients to exam room, assisting the Doctor in procedures (cleaning/bandaging wounds, pelvic exams, and such). There is a tremendous amount that I learned and loved about this facility and can't wait to start again! – less

Working here was a blast. I had fun while I was working and that is very important. My co-workers made me feel so welcome. What I liked most about this job was the clinical setting. That's what I want to do with my life. This job just came easy to me. I think it's the one for me.

Learning different cultures and beliefs of the patient was very interesting. My co-workers where very helpful and understandind

I worked with people that did not have health insurance. I liked the idea of working with people and also showing them that they can still see a physician even though they don't have health insurance. The co-pays at this place was based on household income. I also assisted patients in getting their medications straight from the drug companies for a – more... small fee or no fee at all. I was a Medical Assistant here and loved working with all the different people that came through the office (patients). I always learned something new from them. I loved working with the physicians and nurse practitioners to assist these people in getting their health care needs met even though they did not health insurance. I liked getting to know each and everyone of the patients and after a while you learn about their family and their jobs. – less

The hardest part of my job is gaining patient compliance. The most enjoyable part of my job is when I have helped a patient reach their health goals. I also enjoy the challenge of organizational change. – less

A very stressful place to work. All the employees work against one another as if in competition.

Typical day at work , daily check stock room, exam rooms, emergency chart and refigerator, work up patients have patients waiting in exam room for provider according to there appointment time and the time they arrive for their appointment, preform treatment, procedure on patients depending on what provider ordered. Answering and Calling patients about – more... medical issues; faxing, scanning and copy pertinent information to required company or person. Schdueling appointments and referring patients. Document procedures, treatments and immunizationsat the end of the day shift if we have free t I learned alot about pediatric immunization how they are stored and how you administrate the vaccines to the patient and how to document the immunizations, and required immunization for children going by their age and computerize charting Co-workers at Family Health Center are friendly and accepting and do not mind telling you when you are slacking or wrong on the job. Some co-workers are not understanding. The hardest part of this job is the lack of communication, management and training for the computerize charting, also the wait time the patience have to be seen by the provider. And some of the patients are rude and not understanding of the system at Family Health Center. The patients wait is to long. Most enjoyable part of this job is seeing the patients happy and pleasant that they recieve the quality care in safe environment in a timely manner. – less

My job at the Family Health Center included checking patients in and out daily, making cash and credit transactions, verifying insurance claims daily, and creating data reports of everyday activity. I learned beneficial information on this job and it taught me to be patient and understanding towards people. I was highly respectful to all my co-workers – more... even those that weren't the easiest to work alongside. The hardest part of the job was converting to a new systen and adjusting to a new department when asked to switch from Dental to Internal Medicine. However, the experience was such a great accomplishment for myself. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing all that goes into working in the medical field. It is not east but rewarding. I enjoyed working at the clinic and loved the friendships I gained. – less

It was difficult coming into and working for this establishment. I wasn't happy at this job at all.

A typical day at the job would start off by coming in and preparing my registration for the following day. This would usually consist of verifying patient's insurance and amount of copay patients are required to pay. Through out the day depending on whether I was in check-in or check would determined what I was doing for the day. Scheduling appointments, – more... cancelling appointments, sorting mail and answering phones is a daily routine. The thing I enjoy most about this job is that there are people I work with that make it easy to do my job. – less

Would recommend to any one to seek employment. Excellent benefits & very friendly employees.

I enjoyed the overall experience of working for the company. There was no advancement to other positions nor raise given.

The Clinic is a very busy medical office. We have OBGYN clinic as well as medical and any other specialist who come in once a month to see patients. Every day is a busy day from the time office opens to close. There is always something to do, and something new to learn. At times it gets hard trying to help everyone from co workers to patients, to physicians – more... all at once but team work is the main key. We have to work together to maintain a positive and well organize office. Multi-tasking is a must at the clinic, even at all the departments i had worked for. I am a very friendly and easy to get along with. I had no problem with any of my coworkers. I always have respect and treat everyone fairly as how I would like to be treated. – less
