Very fun, busy environment. They strive on best service for their patients and make sure things are done in a timely manor.

A typical day at work would be taking patients back to the rooms, taking vitals and preparing them for the doctors assistance. I learned how to call in scripts for patients and how to send in UA's, This was my first time working in the Medical Field so the hardest part of the job was answering patients questions when i barley knew what they were asking. – more...

This company does a great job in trying to help the low income undocumented population and their families. We offer several free of charge medical services for people who need Medical and Dental and Optometry services.

I had no job security, I was hired part time, but I work full time, I like the job location, and I like the people I worked with, but I had no job security and that worried me, because I'm a single women and need a job to support my self.

My typical day at work is busy. As soon as I get to work, I do my usual routine of downloading labs, checking the voice mail, answering phones, scanning documents to patient's file, etc. I have learned how to efficiently multi-task and enhance my social skills. The management however, needs a little improvement. Office Managers are supposed to be the – more... approachable kind and at least be the mediator when things get a little out of hand at work. My co-workers are great and very helpful with each other. The hardest part of my job was dealing with irate patients in person or over the phone. I have been yelled at and cussed out during a conversation. But as a professional, I have to stay calm but stern with my decision. The most enjoyable part of my job were the free lunches! Drug reps are always so nice to bring us food and we always have the best stories to share with each other. – less
