Imagine a workplace where the moment you walk in, you feel valued, supported, and excited for the day ahead. Welcome to Rivertown Dental, a modern, privately owned dental practice on a mission to change the landscape of dentistry. We believe a positive culture is the foundation of success. Our world-class culture isn’t just something we talk about - it’s something we live.
Every day at Rivertown Dental is a new opportunity to make an impact. The day begins bright and early at 7:30am, with preparing the waiting room, reviewing schedules, and setting the tone for the day. Around 7:40 am, the whole team gathers for a morning huddle, where collaboration and support take place. It’s a time to connect, discuss potential roadblocks, and ensure every team member is set up for success.
From the moment a patient walks in, we focus on delivering an outstanding experience rooted in care, dedication, and trust. We greet patients with welcoming smiles, checking them in, verifying insurance details, and answering any initial questions they may have. Through the day there is a balance of scheduling appointments, checking out patients, processing payments, confirming future visits, reviewing treatment plans, and financial options to ensure they feel informed and confident in their care. Every interaction is built on honesty and trust. The goal is to always deliver personalized exceptional care.
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a Patient Care Coordinator at Rivertown is seeing patients leave the office with a sense of relief and comfort. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that by coordinating their care and ensuring they receive the treatment they need, we are helping the community achieve better oral health and well-being. At the heart of it all, it’s about helping others, creating positive experiences, and making a difference—one patient at a time.
We don’t just work together - we grow together. The culture is one of passion, connection, and shared purpose. It’s a place where we come together to motivate, support, and collaborate - not just in dentistry, but in life. We take our expectations seriously, but we also know how to create an environment that is healthy, balanced, and fun.
