Now Hiring: Virtual Appointment Setter & Patient Coordinator

Hartley Chiropractic Center — Clearwater & Seminole, Florida
Remote • Full-Time • $8 USD/hour + Commission
Monday–Friday • Eastern Time

Why This Role Exists
Hartley Chiropractic Center is a growing, family-centered chiropractic practice with two locations in Pinellas County, Florida, on the Gulf Coast between Tampa and Clearwater Beach. Our team helps patients of all ages improve their health naturally through corrective chiropractic care, prenatal and pediatric care, non-surgical spinal decompression, neuropathy care, functional medicine, and auto-a ---------- care.

Our in-office team is focused on creating an exceptional experience for the patients standing in front of them. We are hiring a confident, warm, and results-driven Virtual Appointment Setter & Patient Coordinator to take ownership of incoming leads, appointment setting, follow-up, and patient communication.

This is not simply an administrative position. You will be the first voice many prospective patients hear, and your ability to connect with them may be the reason they finally receive the help they need.

About Hartley Chiropractic Center
Hartley Chiropractic Center has served Pinellas County for more than 16 years. We are a second-generation, doctor-owned practice with an all-female chiropractic team serving patients from our Clearwater and Seminole offices.

Our mission is to help practice members reach their full health potential without the use of drugs or surgery, educate our community, and create generational health.

Our core values are:

* Commitment
* Excellence as a Standard
* Education
* High Energy
* Impact

We are known for taking on challenging cases and helping people who may have started to lose hope. We care deeply about our patients, but we also believe in accountability, measurable results, clear communication, and consistent follow-through.

The Role
As our Virtual Appointment Setter & Patient Coordinator, you will be responsible for helping prospective and existing patients take the next step in their care.

You will respond to incoming inquiries, answer calls, make outbound calls, schedule new patients, confirm appointments, recover cancellations, follow up with leads, and reconnect with former patients.

You will work closely with our Office Manager, doctors, in-office patient coordinators, and marketing team. You must be comfortable working independently while staying in constant communication with the team.

This is a long-term, full-time remote contractor position working during Hartley Chiropractic Center’s lead-response and operating hours in the Eastern Time Zone.

* Make sure every lead receives consistent follow-up and does not quietly go cold.

Follow-Up and Patient Coordination
* Follow established call, text, and email sequences for leads who do not schedule during the first conversation.
* Confirm upcoming new-patient appointments.
* Ask whether there is any reason the patient may be unable to attend.
* Follow up immediately with patients who miss or cancel an appointment.
* Recover cancellations and help patients reschedule.
* Contact former patients for reactivation and re-care opportunities.
* Work assigned call lists completely and on time.

* Escalate clinical, billing, insurance, or sensitive patient questions to the appropriate team member.

CRM and Record Management

* Maintain accurate patient and lead records in ChiroHD and our lead-management systems.
* Update lead statuses and next steps so the entire team can see where each person stands.
* Protect patient confidentiality and follow all HCC privacy and HIPAA policies.
* Use only assigned accounts and approved systems when accessing patient information.
* Never download or store patient information on a personal device.
* Maintain organized follow-up lists and complete assigned tasks by their deadlines.

Sales Communication
* Present our new-patient offers with confidence and clarity.

* Communicate the value of coming into the office without diagnosing, making guarantees, or giving clinical advice.

* Respond professionally to common objections, including:
* “I need to think about it.”
* “I need to speak with my spouse.”
* “I will call you back.”
* “I need to check my schedule.”
* “How much will this cost?”
* “Do you accept my insurance?”

You must be able to adjust your communication style for parents, pregnant women, active adults, patients in chronic pain, people with disc injuries, neuropathy patients, and auto-a ---------- patients.

You must help callers feel heard, understood, hopeful, and confident about scheduling.

Team Communication

* Acknowledge team messages promptly so the sender knows they were received.
* Attend scheduled virtual meetings, coaching sessions, and training.
* Submit an accurate end-of-day report.
* Report daily results, questions, problems, recurring objections, lead-quality concerns, and missed opportunities.
* Accept coaching professionally and apply feedback quickly.
* Contribute ideas that may improve lead response, patient communication, appointment conversions, and show rates.

Required Experience and Skills
* Excellent spoken and written English is required.
* A clear, warm, confident, and professional phone voice is required.
* Previous phone-sales or appointment-setting experience is required.
* Previous experience using a CRM or structured lead-management system is required.
* At least two years of experience in appointment setting, inside sales, customer service, lead follow-up, or another phone-based role is strongly preferred.
* Experience in chiropractic, dental, wellness, physical therapy, med-spa, or a related practice is a strong advantage.
* Comfortable making a high volume of outbound calls when necessary.
* Able to move confidently between phone calls, text messages, email, Slack, ChiroHD, and a CRM.
* Fast and accurate typing.
* Strong attention to detail and reliable follow-through.
