Job Description

Job Title: Front Office Coordinator – New Practice Opening Fall 2026
Location: Silver Spring, MD 20910
Job Type: Full-Time
Pay: $22–$28/hour (based on experience)
About Us
Elevate Dentistry is a brand-new dental practice opening this fall in Silver Spring, founded by Dr. Justin Do. We’re flipping the typical dentist-patient dynamic — building a practice where patients feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for, not rushed through. We’ve thoughtfully designed the space to feel calm, modern, and inspiring for both patients and team members, with advanced technology and systems to support excellent care. As a founding team member, you’ll help shape our culture from day one, not just slot into an existing routine.

What You’ll Do
Serve as the first point of contact — greeting patients, answering phones, and managing the front desk with warmth and professionalism
Schedule and confirm appointments, manage the daily patient flow, and minimize no-shows/gaps
Verify insurance benefits and eligibility, and explain coverage to patients in plain language
Collect payments, manage billing, and process insurance claims
Maintain accurate patient records in our practice management system (Open Dental)
Coordinate with the clinical team to keep the schedule running smoothly
Support new-patient onboarding, including intake forms and account setup
Help execute front-office elements of patient experience initiatives (recall systems, reviews, referrals)
What We’re Looking For
1+ years of front desk experience in a dental or medical office strongly preferred
Experience with dental insurance verification and claims
Familiarity with practice management software (Open Dental) a plus
Excellent phone etiquette, organization, and multitasking skills
Warm, patient-first attitude — you genuinely enjoy putting people at ease
Comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment where you’ll help build processes, not just follow them
Bilingual (Spanish or Amharic) a plus given our Silver Spring/Montgomery County patient base
Why Join Elevate Dentistry
Ground-floor opportunity with a growing, founder-led practice
Modern office, latest technology, and a genuinely supportive team culture
Room to grow as the practice scales
Competitive pay + benefits
Free on-site parking
Location
Conveniently located in Silver Spring, MD — easy access from Wheaton, Takoma Park, Kensington, and the greater Montgomery County / DC-metro area.

How to Apply
Apply directly on Indeed or send your resume to info.elevatedentistry@gmail.com. We’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis ahead of our fall 2026 opening.

Pay: $22.00 - $28.00 per hour
Benefits:
Employee discount
Paid time off
Work Location: In person
