Youfirst Clinic

We are seeking a reliable, experienced Medical Assistant with strong medical front desk skills to join our physician-led primary care clinic in Katy/Fulshear.

This is not an entry-level position. We are specifically looking for someone with recent, hands-on experience in a medical office who can independently manage front desk responsibilities, insurance eligibility verification, EMR workflows, and blood draws.

This is a hands-on hybrid role, with a strong emphasis on front office operations and patient interaction, including phones, scheduling, check-in/check-out, insurance verification, and accurate EMR documentation. The position also requires strong clinical skills, particularly phlebotomy/venipuncture.

You will work directly with a solo physician in a high-quality, patient-centered primary care practice, where reliability, attention to detail, efficiency, communication, and the ability to work independently are essential.
