Description: |
Refresh Valley Dental is a
private dental practice in Northampton, MA owned by a UBSDM graduate, and we’re looking to hire an
associate dentist!
Are you tired of working in an
office where the equipment is falling apart? Do you feel pressured to recommend
treatment you don’t believe in? Do you wish your team was more unified? Do you
want more career growth potential? Are you considering trying something new?
At Refresh Valley Dental, we
want our office to be a refreshingly positive space in the dental world. Our
practice mission is to help people be healthy, eat the foods they want, and
smile with confidence. Our core values are compassion, teamwork, communication,
and competence. Our team is hard working, weird, and absolutely a blast to be
around. The office is located in Northampton, Massachusetts - a fun college
town with plenty of good restaurants, galleries, cafes, and bookstores, and a
building music scene. The office was built in 2021 in a relatively new building
with lots of big windows. We have new and modern equipment available including
a scanner and CBCT. It’s a good place to be.
Full-time and part-time
candidates will both be considered. New dentists will have an introductory
period with a guaranteed paycheck. After that, they will be paid on adjusted
production minus labs and implant parts, and can join our health insurance
plan. They will also be treated at cost at the office for any procedures we are
able to do. Associate dentists will have up to $2000 annual continuing
education reimbursement for approved courses as well. While partnership is not
guaranteed, our current dentist owner is interested in long-term business
partnership with the right person. To help minimize restrictions on our
treatment, and maximize provider compensation, we are only in network with four
PPO plans, and plan to drop most if not all of them within the next 3 years. We
do not accept Mass Health and have no plans to. The current dentist does not do
orthodontics or periodontal procedures, rarely does molar endo, and dislikes
both pediatric dentistry and dentures, so those procedures could easily be
in-house referred to a new associate who was interested. The practice is currently
booking out two to three weeks for dental procedures, and about three months
for new patients. We have had to significantly decrease our marketing due to
the inability to get new patients in, but with another provider on board would
be happy to ramp it up again.
While excited to serve the
whole community, we have a special interest in making our queer patients feel
comfortable and respected. We also have quite a few patients who have dental
anxiety that has prevented them from addressing their dental health for years.
We offer them patience, understanding, and a non-judgmental environment, so
they can finally get the work done that they need. We also have a special
interest in food security, and are proud to be partnering with the Northampton
Survival Center to donate a month’s worth of free healthy groceries for every
new patient who comes in for an exam. While we understand this might not be the
ideal environment for everyone, we’re hoping that the right dentist will feel
right at home here.
Ideally, the dentist for this
job will be a compassionate and patient individual, who is eager to continue
growing professionally. New graduates are encouraged to apply; the owner doctor
is happy to mentor. A Massachusetts dental license and CPR certification will
be needed before starting.
