The Practice Culture

We are an established 4-doctor private practice in St. Joseph, MI, built on a foundation of Quality of Life over Production. We are currently looking to add 1–2 more doctors to our team due to high patient demand. Our environment is intentionally laid-back. We overstaff to ensure the office runs smoothly, allowing you to focus on your patients rather than administrative stress. Our leadership includes two doctors, one a 10-year military veteran, both of whom value a balanced, pleasant workplace.

We aim to offer the most competitive package in the region to attract the right long-term fit: Guaranteed Draw: $120,000 draw against 30% of production (minus 30% lab fees). Signing/Relo Bonus: $20,000 upfront. Defined Partnership: We have a clear path to ownership. Once you exceed $765k in production, you earn partnership status. Schedule: 4-day work week. Saturdays are for hygiene only (unless you choose to work). On-Call: Very low impact—one Saturday per month for emergency calls.

Benefits

Benefits: 401k with 3% match, medical insurance available, and $2,000/year for CE (negotiable).

Clinical Freedom

Patient Flow: 10,000 active patients. You will see 16–24 hygiene patients/day and 8–12 operative patients. No Micro-management: We will never ask you to perform a procedure you don’t want to do. Specialty Work: We fully support and encourage you to perform specialty procedures. Patient Base: 50/50 PPO and Fee-for-Service. Our demographic is family-oriented (25% under age 18), primarily serving moms and their children. Pacing: 50-minute chair times to ensure you never have to rush your work.
