Description

About Us

Aliso Dermatology is a new and growing dermatology clinic dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care and building strong connections with our community. We're hiring motivated, adaptable, and resourceful Medical Assistants for two roles — Front Desk and Back Desk (Clinical) — to support both the administrative and clinical sides of the practice. Candidates may be considered for either role, or a hybrid position depending on experience and clinic needs.


Front Desk Medical Assistant

Focus: patient-facing administrative coordination and the flow of the front office.


  • Reception & Check-In/Out: Welcome patients, manage the schedule, handle check-in and check-out, and answer phones.
  • Insurance & Registration: Verify eligibility and benefits, collect registration information, process copays, and manage card-on-file and balance questions.
  • Records & Referrals: Handle medical records requests, coordinate incoming and outgoing referrals, and keep patient information accurate and organized.
  • Communication: Send appointment reminders, follow-up messages, and patient-facing notices.
  • Social Media & Outreach: Support the clinic's digital presence by posting updates, sharing community events, and helping with marketing efforts.


Back Desk (Clinical) Medical Assistant

Focus: clinical support, patient flow, and provider assistance in the exam rooms.


  • Patient Rooming & Flow: Room patients, take vitals and histories, prepare and turn over exam rooms, and keep the clinical day moving on schedule.
  • Procedure Support: Assist the provider during exams and procedures (biopsies, excisions, injections, cryotherapy), set up and break down trays, and maintain a clean, stocked clinical environment.
  • Medication Coordination: Support prescriptions, pharmacy communications, and prior authorization processes.
  • Specimens & Documentation: Label and log specimens, complete pathology paperwork, and document clinical information in the EMR.
  • Supplies & Compliance: Track and restock clinical supplies, and help maintain infection-control and safety standards.


Qualifications (Both Roles)

  • Prior experience in healthcare, medical assisting, or administrative support preferred — but not required. We're willing to train the right candidate.
  • Strong communication and organizational skills.
  • Comfort with technology (EMR systems, email, and social media platforms).
  • Friendly, professional, and team-oriented attitude.
  • Willingness to learn and adapt to new responsibilities as the clinic grows.
  • Pre-med and pre-PA students are welcome to apply.


Back Desk applicants: clinical/MA training, externship experience, or a clinical certification is a plus but not required.


Why Join Us?


  • Opportunity to be part of a new, community-centered dermatology practice from the ground up.
  • Exposure to both clinical and administrative aspects of healthcare.
  • Collaborative, supportive team environment.
  • Growth potential as the clinic expands.
