Position Summary

We are seeking a warm, professional, and highly accountable Dental Office Manager to lead the patient experience and daily administrative operations of a boutique, two-operatory dental practice in Midtown Manhattan.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced dental professional who enjoys building relationships with patients and serving as the face of a high-end private practice. Unlike many traditional office management roles, this position is not focused on supervising a large administrative team or managing an internal billing department. The practice utilizes outsourced revenue cycle management, insurance verification support, and remote administrative resources, allowing the Office Manager to focus on what matters most: delivering a five-star patient experience, supporting treatment acceptance, maintaining operational excellence, and helping grow the practice.

As the primary in-office administrative leader, you will oversee patient scheduling, treatment coordination, financial conversations, patient follow-up, and day-to-day office operations. The ideal candidate combines exceptional customer service skills with strong organizational abilities, business acumen, and a genuine passion for helping patients feel cared for throughout their dental journey.

About the Practice & Community

Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, this boutique two-operatory practice provides highly personalized dental care in a modern, patient-focused environment. The practice prides itself on delivering a concierge-level experience where every patient feels valued, heard, and cared for.

This position offers the opportunity to become a key leader within a close-knit practice while working in one of New York City's most vibrant and desirable neighborhoods.
