Associate Dentist
Job Description
Associate Dentist — For the Doctor Who Wants to Build, Contribute, and Grow
Location: [Lynnwood /WA]
Full-Time | Competitive Compensation + Growth Opportunity
We are looking for an Associate Dentist who wants more than simply showing up, seeing patients, and collecting a paycheck.
Our practice is looking for a doctor who takes pride in being part of a high-functioning team and understands that being an excellent clinician is only one part of being an excellent associate.
The right person for this position is:
- Clinically curious and committed to continuous improvement
- Able to recognize comprehensive patient needs and appropriately diagnose and present treatment
- Productive and efficient while maintaining quality and patient care
- Reliable, dependable, and willing to honor commitments
- Comfortable working collaboratively with other doctors and supporting the needs of the practice
- Flexible when reasonable coverage or scheduling needs arise
- Professional in all interactions with patients, staff, doctors, and management
- Engaged with the team rather than isolated from it
- Accountable for their schedule, patient flow, communication, and commitments
- Comfortable receiving feedback and willing to make adjustments
- Interested in mentorship, professional development, and becoming progressively more capable and independent
- Able to communicate directly and honestly, even when the answer may not be what someone wants to hear
- Interested in building a long-term, mutually beneficial professional relationship
This is likely not the right position for someone looking for maximum flexibility with minimal commitment, who prefers to work independently without participating in the broader team, who is unwilling to accept feedback, or who views the practice and its employees solely as resources to be used for their individual benefit.
We believe a successful associate relationship requires a genuine partnership between the doctor and the practice. The practice has an obligation to provide mentorship, support, equipment, staff, systems, and opportunities. In return, the associate must bring professionalism, reliability, accountability, clinical engagement, and a genuine commitment to the success of the patients, team, and practice.
We are especially interested in doctors who can say:
“If I give you my word, you can plan around it.”
If you are looking for a place where you can grow clinically, be supported by an experienced team, contribute to something larger than yourself, and build a long-term professional relationship, we would like to talk with you.
