What the job involves

Receptionists and client service representatives run the front of the hospital: answering phones, booking and triaging appointments, checking patients in and out, explaining estimates and invoices, taking payments, handling refill requests and calming worried owners. Clinics hire for customer service skills first and teach the veterinary side on the job.
