We are a friendly group that enjoys each other's company. When we are not treating patients, which is our #1 priority, we joke around and laugh with each other. It's our 2nd family. I welcome you as our tribe member. I know why professionals are leaving the dental field or looking for a new job. By far the number one reason for this is a toxic work environment present in the dental office. I know that social media boards are filled with complaints of being unfavorably and unfairly treated, disregarded, disrespected, and discouraged.
A new “dental home” is waiting for you within a safe and positive work environment and an incredible opportunity to be welcomed as part of our team. A team we take great pride in. Our office is fun and family oriented.
See our patients smile more, knowing that you've helped create a positive experience! We will show you how to feel empowered and will leverage your creativity and fresh ideas to help our patients and each one of us reach our professional goals.
We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people, making them feel relevant and seen. 1 year of experience in customer service is a bonus, as is any experience in the dental field.
Most of all, we need good vibes and positive energy!
