Periodontist

Leave the Competition Behind.

Associate Periodontist → Partnership Opportunity

Tucson, Arizona | Relocation Assistance • Signing Bonus • Future Ownership

Currently practicing in Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego, Albuquerque, El Paso, Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, or another nearby metro?

Sometimes the best career move isn't joining another practice.

It's choosing a market where your expertise is truly valued.

Across many large metropolitan areas, Periodontists are facing the same challenges:

• More specialists competing for the same referral base

• Corporate consolidation

• Longer commutes

• Escalating housing prices

• Partnership opportunities becoming increasingly rare

Just 90 minutes south of Phoenix, Tucson offers a different path.

A place where specialists continue to build meaningful referral relationships, enjoy an exceptional lifestyle, and create long-term wealth through ownership.

If you're ready to practice where your expertise is in demand—not just another name on a referral list—this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Why Tucson?

While much of Arizona has experienced explosive growth, Tucson has quietly become one of the Southwest's best-kept secrets for healthcare professionals.

Imagine finishing surgery at 4:00 PM and being able to...

Play one of Southern Arizona's nationally recognized golf courses.

Ride hundreds of miles of road cycling routes with virtually year-round riding weather.

Hike Sabino Canyon before dinner.

Escape to the cool pines atop Mount Lemmon.

Watch sunsets over the Catalina Mountains from your backyard.

Few metropolitan areas in America offer this combination of professional opportunity and lifestyle.

Live Where You'd Actually Want to Stay

Many of our doctors choose communities such as:

Catalina Foothills

Luxury homes, mountain views, outstanding schools, and one of Arizona's premier residential communities.

Oro Valley

Master-planned neighborhoods, golf courses, exceptional public schools, family-friendly amenities, and quick access to outdoor recreation.

Marana

One of Arizona's fastest-growing communities, offering new construction, larger homes, excellent value, and convenient access to both Tucson and Phoenix.

Whether you're raising a family or simply looking for more space and a better pace of life, Southern Arizona offers options that are increasingly difficult to find in larger metropolitan markets.

An Outdoor Lifestyle That's Hard to Match

With more than 350 days of sunshine annually , Tucson has become a destination for active professionals.

Within minutes of the practice you'll find:

✔ Saguaro National Park

✔ Sabino Canyon Recreation Area

✔ Catalina State Park

✔ Mount Lemmon

✔ The Arizona Trail

✔ Patagonia Lake

✔ World-class cycling

✔ Championship golf

✔ Hiking

✔ Mountain biking

✔ Trail running

If work-life balance matters, it's difficult to find a better market.

A Food & Culture Scene That Surprises Everyone

Tucson isn't just another desert city.

It was the first city in the United States designated as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy , reflecting its internationally recognized culinary heritage.

You'll enjoy:

• Incredible Sonoran cuisine

• Award-winning Mexican restaurants

• Breweries

• Coffee shops

• Farmers markets

• University of Arizona athletics

• Arts and performing arts

• Festivals throughout the year

Southern Arizona also offers a rich multicultural heritage and easy access to unique weekend destinations throughout Arizona and Northern Mexico, adding to the region's distinctive character and quality of life.

Travel Is Easy

Tucson International Airport offers convenient nonstop service to many major hubs, making travel for CE courses, conferences, vacations, and family visits remarkably convenient.

Popular nonstop destinations include:

• Phoenix

• Dallas/Fort Worth

• Denver

• Chicago

• Atlanta

• Las Vegas

• Los Angeles

• Seattle

…and many more through a single connection.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most partnership opportunities never actually happen.

This one was built that way from the beginning.

The founder is actively planning for the future of the practice and is seeking someone interested in becoming a long-term partner—not simply another associate.

You'll join an established specialty practice featuring:

(Insert KPIs once available.)

Examples:

✔ Annual Collections

✔ Annual Implant Placements

✔ New Patients

✔ Active Referral Doctors

✔ Number of Operatories

✔ CBCT

✔ Digital Workflow

✔ Sedation

✔ Experienced Surgical Team

✔ Immediate Patient Flow

✔ Partnership Opportunity after approximately 12 months

I'd actually make this section one of the first things candidates see after the opening, once we have the numbers.
