Antonia Benitez

Derm Medical Assistant @ Concierge Medical Spa

About

I am a psychology graduate transitioning into healthcare with a growing interest in dermatology, and patient care. My background includes experience in cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery settings where I worked closely with physicians coordinating patient care, supporting procedures, and managing high-volume clinical workflows.Through my work as a patient care coordinator at PryorHealth, I gained firsthand exposure to dermatologic and aesthetic medicine while assisting with patient intake, treatment coordination, and clinical support during procedures. That experience sparked my interest in pursuing a long-term career in healthcare.I am currently focused on gaining hands-on clinical experience as a Dermatology Medical Assistant while preparing for a future transition into nursing.My strengths include patient communication, organization in fast-paced environments, and building trust with individuals during vulnerable or high-stress situations.
