What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Dentist position at Spring Hope Family Dentistry?
$200K-$350K | 4-Day Work Week | Out-of-Network Practice — Keep What You Produce
I'm Dr. Elie Abboud, owner of Spring Hope Family Dentistry in Spring Hope, NC. I bought this 40 year legacy practice in July 2024 and grew collections from $1.15M to $1.75M in 18 months. We're at 4.9 stars on Google, the schedule is packed, and I need an associate dentist who wants to do great work and get paid well for it.
Here's the deal: we're an out-of-network office. No PPO write-offs. No chasing insurance companies for pennies. You produce $5,000 in dentistry, you collect close to $5,000. That's the difference between making a good living and making a great one.
COMPENSATION — LET'S TALK NUMBERS
- Daily guarantee of $800-$1,200/day OR 30-35% of collections (whichever is higher)
- Realistic earning potential: $200K-$350K depending on your speed and case acceptance
BENEFITS
- 401(k) with 3% employer match
- Health insurance (employer pays 80% of silver plan)
- $1,500-$2,000/year CE allowance
- 4-day work week (Tue-Fri)
WHAT YOU'RE WALKING INTO
- A practice that's growing fast — not one you need to rescue
- Averaging 40 NP a month. The patients are here.
- CBCT, intraoral scanners, AI diagnostics, 3D printer (SprintRay), handheld x-ray
- Trained team of 9 that actually shows up and cares
- A front desk and treatment coordinator who handle the business side so you can focus on clinical
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
- DDS/DMD with active NC license (or willing to get one)
- Someone comfortable with more than bread and butter general dentistry — fillings, crowns, extractions, endo, simple implant placement
- Confident treatment planning and case presentation skills
- Wants to be part of a growing practice, not just clock hours
- Experience or genuine interest in out-of-network/fee-for-service dentistry is a big plus
PARTNERSHIP TRACK
This isn't just a job — if you're the right fit, there's a clear partnership path after 2-3 years. I'm building something here and I want an associate who wants to build with me.
