Patient Care Coordinator – Ophthalmology and Elective Vision Services
Luxor Eye Institute | Bakersfield, California | Full-Time
Guide Patients Through Life-Changing Eye Care
Luxor Eye Institute is hiring a confident, compassionate, and results-driven Patient Care Coordinator to help patients move from consultation to treatment.
This role combines patient education, scheduling, follow-up, relationship management, and elective service coordination. You will work with patients considering cataract surgery, LASIK, ICL, dry eye treatments, specialty lenses, laser procedures, and other advanced eye-care services.
This is not a traditional front desk position. It is a patient-facing coordination and conversion role requiring strong communication, organization, follow-through, and professional judgment.
What You Will Do
- Guide patients through the consultation and treatment process
- Educate patients about recommended procedures and service options
- Schedule consultations, treatments, and surgical appointments
- Follow up with patients who have not yet scheduled
- Coordinate referrals from optometrists and other providers
- Maintain communication with referring offices
- Track leads, consultations, conversions, and pending decisions
- Discuss financing and payment options when appropriate
- Document every patient interaction accurately
- Coordinate with physicians, technicians, front desk staff, and leadership
- Prevent patients from being lost because of poor follow-up
- Support premium cataract, LASIK, ICL, and dry eye service growth
What Success Looks Like
Within your first 90 days, you should be able to:
- Manage an assigned patient pipeline independently
- Follow up with every pending patient on schedule
- Explain services clearly without providing medical advice
- Identify patient concerns and escalate clinical questions appropriately
- Maintain accurate notes and tracking
- Meet established scheduling and conversion expectations
- Communicate effectively with referring providers
- Provide a polished, high-touch patient experience
The Right Candidate
You may be a strong fit if you are:
- Confident speaking with patients
- Comfortable discussing premium services and financial options
- Organized and persistent
- Empathetic without being passive
- Motivated by measurable results
- Able to manage multiple patient cases simultaneously
- Skilled at overcoming hesitation professionally
- Strong in telephone, text, email, and in-person communication
- Comfortable being held accountable for follow-up and outcomes
- Interested in healthcare, sales, or patient advocacy
Preferred Qualifications
- Medical, dental, aesthetic, optical, or elective healthcare experience
- Ophthalmology or optometry experience
- Patient sales or treatment coordination experience
- Experience with CRM systems or lead tracking
- Experience with Nextech or similar practice-management software
- Experience discussing financing or elective procedures
- Bilingual English and Spanish is a significant advantage
Who Should Not Apply
This position will not be a good fit if you:
- Are uncomfortable discussing treatment costs
- Avoid follow-up because you do not want to appear persistent
- Fail to document calls and patient interactions
- Wait for patients to contact you instead of managing the relationship
- Struggle with accountability or performance expectations
- Dislike fast-paced environments
- Are uncomfortable receiving coaching
- Prefer a low-responsibility administrative role
Why Join Luxor Eye Institute

- Help patients make meaningful healthcare decisions
- Build valuable experience in elective healthcare

- Work in a professional specialty practice
- Opportunity for performance-based incentives
- Opportunity for advancement into senior coordination or leadership roles
Schedule
- Full-time
