- Provide second opinions and pre- and post-operative consultations, and refer patients for surgical intervention or to other specialists when clinically appropriate;
- Accurately and promptly document all patient encounters, assessments, procedures, interventions, and outcomes in the patient's electronic medical record (EMR);
- Provide comprehensive follow-up care, including management of acute complaints and ongoing pain conditions;
- Promote patient retention through consistent, detailed, and timely follow-up communications and care;

- Maintain a professional appearance and demeanor consistent with the image and standards of the practice;
- Participate in staff meetings, training sessions, and continuing education opportunities as required;
- Represent the practice with integrity and discretion in all patient and community interactions;
- Assist other providers with their patients and the practice's needs as directed;

- Demonstrate brand loyalty and promotion of the business as an individual and as a team member;
- Maintain a safe, sanitary, and compliant clinical environment in accordance with applicable practice policies, professional standards, and regulatory requirements;
- Adhere to infection control, safety, and quality assurance policies and protocols to protect patients, staff, and the work environment;
- Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, and professional regulations, including ongoing monitoring of new or revised legal and regulatory requirements relevant to the position;
