Job Description

Looking for an orthodontic practice where you’ll be appreciated, supported, and valued for what you bring to the team?

Sherman Orthodontics is seeking an experienced Front Desk Coordinator to join our well-established, modern private practice in Pittsburgh.

You’ll be the first voice patients hear and the first face they see, playing a key role in keeping our front office running smoothly. We’re looking for someone warm, organized, confident, and dependable who takes pride in making every patient and family feel welcome, informed, and cared for.

Our office is unlike most orthodontic practices. We’re a fully digital, technology-driven practice where the majority of our patients are treated with Invisalign. If you enjoy working with people, staying organized in a modern environment, and being part of a supportive, high-performing team, we’d love to meet you.

This is more than another front desk position. It’s an opportunity to build a long-term career in a respected private practice where your skills, professionalism, and contributions are valued. You’ll receive structured onboarding and dedicated training in our systems and workflows so you have the support you need to thrive.
