Diary of a Treatment Coordinator (TCO) is based on real life stories. The practice and TCO is not mentioned for confidentiality reasons.
One of the most important roles of a Treatment Co-ordinator is to build rapport and trust with patients. A large majority of patients that visit the practice I work for are phobics. To be able to build up trust with someone, especially when they are anxious, can take time. I had one patient who visited me for 2 consultations before she even met one of our dentists.
