ME in Houston, Texas 51 months ago	I am a Patient Coordinator in Houston TX. I Have only been working in this field for 7 months now. I started at $15 an hour, but now make $18. I received a raise when they noticed that I was booking more and more surgeries for them. The more money you make them, the more you will be compensated. - Was this comment helpful?

Higher - larger then usual. Are you kidding me? Don't you have something better to do than post idiotic comments about others? You think you sound so smart? Think again - Was this comment helpful?

Megan in Newport Beach, California 32 months ago	Is it a common practice to pay comission to PCC? I've heard that in plastic surgery,or other related medical field, it is not ethical to pay commision. I'm very interested in becoming a PCC. - Was this comment helpful?

What skills should you learn to increase your salary? I am an employer at a plastic surgery office in Houston, TX, looking to hire a patient coordinator. To answer your questions, yes some cosmetic / plastic surgery companies pay a lot more than others, a top earner can make six figures, but you would have to be a superstar. The skills include sales understanding what the physician wants, and ability to manage the patient experience. Hope that helps, - Was this comment helpful? Yes (4) / No (1) Reply - Report abuse

Hope that helps, Slice in Houston, I've been approached to do this from a bariatric doctor in TJ. We haven't talked figures yet but I wanted to have some idea to counter. I talked with a friend of mine who does sales and she said that 20% commission is normal. I think that's too high given the labor market in TJ. I was hoping you could guide me to something reasonable. I meet with them at the end of the week. Thanks. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No (1) Reply - Report abuse

Additional school or what? You really don’t need a medical back ground, if you really want to get into the field try getting an opportunity at the front desk of a plastic surgery office and then move up. You have a solid foundation with your marketing and sales background. Many patient care coordinators start at the front office and are just too good to be at the front desk, so they are moved into a coordinating role. Hope this helps, we are currently in the process of looking for a front desk coordinator. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse

esthetician in colorado in Denver, Colorado 2 months ago	Hi I'm a new esthetician currently holding a colorado state license. Can anyone answer a few simple questions for me. Is it necessary to pay for laser training, or do skincare professionals prefer to train you themselves on their own equipment? To break into some sort of an assistant for a dermatoligist, plastic surgeon, or medical director at a medi-spa, do I need to futher my education by going to school for medical assisting? Thanks! - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
