A medical Office Administrator is the nerve center of the medical office and is the first person patients see when they come in. The administrator is responsible for all activities necessary for the smooth daily operation of the medical practice, clinic or a hospital department as well as assuring timely compensation for services.

Medical Office Can Not Run without an Administrator!
