With multiple locations throughout the Denver metro area, we are committed to providing exceptional patient care through collaboration, efficiency, and clinical excellence.

We are seeking an experienced, organized, and patient-focused Medical Assistant to join our clinical team. The ideal candidate is comfortable working in a fast-paced specialty care environment, takes initiative, anticipates provider needs, and understands the importance of accurate documentation, efficient patient flow, and exceptional patient experiences.

Previous experience in PM&R, interventional pain management, orthopedics, or another specialty care setting is strongly preferred.

• Assist physicians, physician assistants, and other clinical providers during patient visits and procedures.
• Prepare examination rooms, equipment, instruments, and supplies before patient appointments.
• Assist with in-office procedures, injections, and other clinical treatments within the Medical Assistant's authorized scope of practice.
• Provide patients with clear instructions regarding appointments, procedures, follow-up care, and provider recommendations.
• Maintain a professional, compassionate, and patient-centered approach throughout every interaction.

Chart Preparation & Clinical Documentation

• Proactively review and prepare patient charts before scheduled appointments to ensure providers have the information necessary for efficient and effective visits.
• Verify relevant medical histories, medication lists, allergies, prior treatment records, imaging reports, and specialist documentation.
• Identify missing documentation, referrals, authorizations, imaging, or outside medical records and coordinate their retrieval before appointments.
• Ensure appropriate documentation and clinical information are available for new patient evaluations, follow-up appointments, and procedures.
• Accurately document patient information, clinical activities, and provider-directed updates within the electronic medical record.
• Assist providers with documentation workflows and ensure charts are completed and routed appropriately.
• Maintain organized and accurate records while protecting patient confidentiality.

Provider & Procedure Support

• Anticipate provider needs and ensure examination rooms and clinical materials are ready for each scheduled patient.
• Prepare patients and treatment areas for office-based procedures, including injections and other specialty services.
• Assist providers with obtaining and organizing imaging, diagnostic results, and relevant medical documentation.
• Coordinate provider orders, diagnostic testing, referrals, and follow-up appointments.
• Track outstanding orders, test results, and clinical tasks to help ensure timely patient follow-through.
• Communicate effectively with providers regarding patient concerns, missing documentation, and issues affecting clinical care.

Patient Coordination & Clinic Operations

• Support efficient patient flow by coordinating with front-office staff, scheduling teams, case managers, and clinical providers.
• Assist with prescription refill requests and prior authorizations as directed by licensed clinical staff.
• Communicate with pharmacies, imaging facilities, referring providers, and other healthcare organizations as needed.
• Maintain appropriate clinical inventory and notify leadership of supply or equipment needs.
• Follow infection prevention, sterilization, and workplace safety protocols.
• Assist with maintaining clean, stocked, organized, and patient-ready clinical areas.
• Help identify opportunities to improve patient experiences, clinical efficiency, and operational workflows.

• Experience obtaining vital signs, rooming patients, preparing charts, and assisting providers.
• Excellent organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities in a busy clinical setting.
• Strong communication skills and a professional, patient-focused demeanor.
• Ability to work independently, anticipate needs, and follow through on assigned responsibilities.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for more than someone who can room patients and take vital signs. We want a Medical Assistant who takes ownership of their responsibilities, supports their providers, and helps create an organized, efficient, and welcoming clinical environment.

The ideal candidate will:

• Stay ahead: Prepare charts, rooms, and clinical materials before the provider or patient needs them.
• Take initiative: Recognize what needs to be done and act without constant direction.
• Be detail-oriented: Ensure charts, records, clinical orders, and patient information are accurate and complete.
• Be dependable: Follow through on responsibilities and communicate proactively.
• Prioritize patients: Deliver compassionate, professional care and help patients feel comfortable and informed.
• Work collaboratively: Support providers, colleagues, and leadership in maintaining a high-performing clinic.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays.
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
• Supportive, collaborative team environment.
• Additional benefits based on eligibility.
