Why You’ll Love Working Here

If you’re looking for a practice that feels like equal parts family and high standards of dentistry, this is it. Catskill Dental Care has been a pillar of trust in the community for over 30 years, known for ethical treatment planning, long-tenured staff, and a genuinely warm, patient-first environment. Dr. Joe Pilatich leads with humility, integrity, and a deep respect for his team — a style that attracts associates who want to grow and feel supported.

You’ll be joining a highly organized, clinically efficient practice built for a smooth, predictable workflow. With eight operatories and a fully cross-trained team, you’re free to focus entirely on delivering exceptional care. Many team members have been with the practice for decades, creating a cohesive, family-like environment defined by adaptability, clear communication, and mutual support. It’s the kind of place where patients stay for 20–30 years — and the staff stay just as long.

If mentorship matters to you, you’re walking into a goldmine. Dr. Pilatich has trained associates in implants, restorative dentistry, endodontics, and complex treatment planning for decades. He offers hands-on support when needed and a calm, pressure-free learning environment. The practice is equipped with Dentrix, CBCT, Trios, digital imaging, multiple implant systems, and modern endodontic tools — everything you need to grow.

Catskill Dental Care is an incredibly stable, high-demand practice with 5,700 active patients. The long-term plan is clear and genuine: Dr. Pilatich wants to transition ownership within the next 2–5 years, and he’s looking for someone humble, ethical, and committed to carrying on his legacy. This is a rare opportunity to step into a thriving practice and become the next owner with full support and mentorship every step of the way.

And the lifestyle? Catskill, NY, is booming — a place where people come to relax and enjoy. Just minutes from the lively arts and food scene in Hudson, and surrounded by mountains, river views, and four true seasons, it’s a haven for anyone who wants beauty, community, and balance. Whether you’re drawn to the outdoors, the food scene, or the relaxed pace of life, you’ll quickly find this is a place that feels like home.

What We Value

Communication – Clear, warm, respectful communication is the backbone of this practice. Our patients — many of whom are older or anxious — deeply appreciate explanations in plain English rather than technical jargon. You should enjoy connecting with people and helping them feel understood and safe.

Honesty & Ethics – We never upsell, pressure patients, or over-treat. This is a high-trust fee-for-service environment where transparency and integrity matter more than production numbers. Patients should feel the same level of confidence in you that they’ve trusted in Dr. Joe for three decades.

Humility – No egos here. You should be open to learning, receptive to feedback, and comfortable working “the Catskill way” instead of forcing your own systems. Our best associates have been grateful, grounded, and team-focused from day one.

Adaptability – Dentistry is unpredictable, and our most successful associates stay calm when the day shifts unexpectedly. Whether it’s a walk-in, a broken tooth, or a double-booking, you’ll thrive if you can adjust your plan and maintain composure.

Patient-First Mindset – Our patients are loyal and multigenerational, and they stay because we make them feel cared for. Bringing warmth, empathy, and genuine interest in their lives is just as important as clinical skill.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide high-quality restorative dentistry, routine extractions, and anterior endodontics.
  • Present ethical, patient-first treatment plans with clear, calm communication.
  • Build lasting relationships with a loyal, long-term patient base.
  • Collaborate daily with a skilled, long-tenured clinical team.
  • Participate in mentorship and grow into implant restorations and advanced procedures.
  • Work toward a long-term future in the practice — including ownership.

Compensation & Benefits

  • 35% of production
  • Daily Guarantee
  • $650/month health stipend
  • 401(k)
  • Mentorship
  • Ownership opportunity

Why This Job Stands Out

Unmatched Mentorship – You’ll be trained directly by a clinician with decades of mastery in implants, restorative, endo, and full-mouth cases. The mentorship is hands-on, pressure-free, and tailored to your goals. This mentorship opportunity has been described as a golden environment for learning.

Exceptionally Loyal Patient Base – With 5,700 active patients, you’ll inherit immediate treatment volume and strong demand. Patients stay for decades and travel from other states for care. The trust level here is exceptionally high.

Culture With Zero Drama – The team is long-tenured, tight-knit, and deeply supportive. No egos and no chaos — just good people doing great dentistry in a family-style environment built on integrity and respect.

Real Ownership Pathway – Dr. Pilatich is ready to transition the practice in the next 2–5 years and wants someone who truly feels like the right successor. If you’re humble, ethical, and committed to the long term, this is an opportunity to take ownership of a thriving private practice.

Who We’re Looking For

Someone who is…

  • Humble and eager to learn, willing to grow clinically and personally without ego.
  • Ethical to the core, always putting patients’ best interests above production.
  • Calm under pressure, able to handle emergencies, walk-ins, and full schedules without stress.
  • A strong communicator, especially with older or anxious patients who need clarity and reassurance.
  • A team-first professional, respectful, adaptable, and great with long-tenured staff.
  • Committed to a long-term home, ideally with a genuine interest in ownership within 2–5 years.
