Veterinary Receptionist Jobs in Tennessee

A Veterinary Receptionist plays a crucial role in the veterinary industry, acting as the first point of contact between the veterinary clinic and clients. Their main responsibilities include scheduling appointments, answering client inquiries, maintaining medical records, billing, and offering general customer service. In addition, they also perform administrative tasks such as mail management, data entry, and supply management. The Veterinary Receptionist is also responsible for ensuring that the clinic environment is clean, welcoming, and well-organized.

Important skills for a Veterinary Receptionist include excellent communication and interpersonal skills, attention to detail, good organization, and computer literacy.
