• Obtain and verify patient information for ophthalmic and refractive procedures, including ocular history, refractive measurements, insurance coverage, and informed consent forms.
• Collaborate closely with ophthalmic surgeons, refractive specialists, optometrists, ophthalmic technicians, and other healthcare professionals to ensure thorough pre‑operative evaluations and personalized treatment plans.
• Educate patients on pre‑operative instructions, post‑operative care protocols, and potential risks associated with ophthalmic and refractive surgery.
• Assist with insurance verification, financial counseling, and billing processes for refractive surgery options, as well as insurance coverage for ophthalmic surgical procedures.
• Maintain detailed records of ophthalmic and refractive surgical procedures, including intraoperative data, post‑operative outcomes, and patient satisfaction metrics.
• Provide compassionate support and address patient concerns throughout the surgical process, from pre‑operative anxiety to post‑operative recovery and visual rehabilitation.

• Proven experience as a Surgical Coordinator or similar role in a practice specializing in ophthalmic and refractive surgery.
• In-depth knowledge of ophthalmic and refractive surgery techniques and technology, as well as general ophthalmic terminology, diagnostic tests, and surgical procedures.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage complex surgical schedules and patient workflows effectively.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a patient‑centered approach to surgical counseling, education, and support.
• Proficiency in electronic medical records (EMR) systems and surgical scheduling software, as well as familiarity with refractive surgery‑specific software and diagnostic equipment.
