About the Role
Our growing podiatry practice is seeking a versatile, cross-trained Medical Assistant for our Edison office. This is a dual role: you'll move seamlessly between the front desk and clinical support depending on the day's flow. If you're someone who takes pride in keeping a busy office running smoothly — greeting patients one moment and assisting the physician the next — we want to hear from you.

Prepare and maintain clinical supplies and inventory
What We're Looking For
Prior Medical Assistant experience in an outpatient/clinic setting

Strong communication skills and a professional, patient-first attitude
