• Diagnose and treat TMJ-related conditions, including the delivery of therapeutic Botox as part of a comprehensive care approach

• Lead daily huddles and clinical calibrations focused on workflow, member care, and continuous improvement
• Review clinical outcomes (including re-dos and escalations) and implement solutions to improve quality and consistency of care

• Help build a high-performing, growth-oriented studio culture in partnership with clinical and operational leadership
