The Sensory Studio is a private pediatric speech and occupational therapy practice dedicated to helping children build confidence, develop skills, and reach their fullest potential. With multiple locations serving families throughout Staten Island, our team is committed to providing exceptional clinical care while creating a welcoming, supportive, and positive experience for every child and family who walks through our doors.

We believe that outstanding patient care begins long before a child enters a therapy room. It begins with the first phone call, the first email, the first question answered, and the first relationship built. That is where our Patient Coordinators come in.

At The Sensory Studio, our Patient Coordinators are far more than receptionists. They are the face of our practice, the voice of our organization, and often the first person a family turns to for guidance and support. They play a critical role in creating meaningful connections with families while ensuring the daily operations of our centers run smoothly and efficiently.

As a Patient Coordinator, you will serve as the bridge between families, therapists, and administrative teams. You will help parents navigate scheduling, answer questions, provide support during challenging moments, and ensure that every family feels welcomed, heard, and cared for. Your ability to balance empathy, professionalism, organization, and efficiency will directly impact the experience of every family we serve.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving problems, and creating exceptional experiences for families while balancing the operational demands of a busy pediatric therapy practice.
