Many listings offer either a buy in partnership or an associateship/employee position.  What if you want the autonomy to practice pediatric dentistry as an owner, but you don't necessarily want the risk, investment, and stress that comes with practice ownership?  I am looking for the right Pediatric Dentist who may want the best of both worlds. 

I opened Rockside Dental in 2010 as a general practice focused on family dentistry.  We have grown to have 3 dentists, a robust and booked hygiene department, an incredible team, and located in the heart of a family community where we are seeing way more little ones that we would like. Our current office expansion, scheduled to be completed this fall, is specifically designed to expand our general practice as well as a build out for a specialized pediatric dental office. 

While associated with our family practice, our pediatric addition will be its own separate entity as Rockside Dental Pediatrics.  The addition has its own entrance, front desk/admin department, reception area, breakroom, doctors office, and treatment rooms.  This is NOT a situation where a pediatric dentist will be working out of a general office.  

In taking the reigns of our start-up pediatric practice, you will have the autonomy to determine days worked, scheduling, and the ins and out of a pediatric practice.  My goal is to help you "live the dream."  I am looking for the right specialist who shares my approach, philosophy, and desire to serve an awesome community and treat patients right.  The success of our family practice has been based on striving to be the best.  We aim to be the best in our interactions with patients, in treatment plan integrity, in hiring the best team out there, and in protecting a team culture where everyone is appreciated, valued, and loves coming to work. 

There are a lot of risks and commitments that come with a start-up--everything from interviewing and hiring, marketing, design and development of the office space, equipment costs, and working capital to carry the practice while it grows.  If you are interested in an opportunity where I take on the risks and you take on the clinical work--I would love to speak with you. 

While it's impossible to predict the future, I am looking for a doctor who's intentions are to set up roots in Tucson, be here long term, and build the practice with me. As we develop the work relationship I am open to a partnership design custom tailored to what we want to build together.
