About this role

At Alabama Vision Center in Birmingham, a Patient Coordinator serves as the clinic's front-line ambassador, managing both the human and logistical sides of patient care. You'll greet patients, answer phones, handle check-in and check-out processes, collect payments, and keep the office running smoothly throughout the day. The role demands strong customer service instincts, attention to detail with financial transactions, and the ability to keep patient flow moving while respecting both patients' and doctors' time.

This position suits someone with at least a year of related administrative or customer service experience who thrives in a fast-paced healthcare environment. You'll need proficiency in Microsoft Office, reliable transportation (the role may require visits to multiple locations), and comfort with frequent multitasking—moving between sitting, standing, and walking while managing phones, paperwork, and cash handling. The clinic operates Monday through Thursday, 7:15 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., and Friday mornings, with flexibility to arrive earlier or stay later as needed.

The full-time role includes medical, vision, and dental insurance, a 401(k) with employer matching, paid time off, paid holidays, paid maternity leave, and employee discounts on vision care. Compensation is competitive, and the position offers genuine opportunity to develop expertise in ophthalmology practice operations.
