What are the responsibilities and job description for the General Dentist position at The Medicus Firm?
General Dentist | Four-Day Workweek | Eastern Washington
If you enjoy broad-scope dentistry but want more predictability than a traditional production-driven practice, this Eastern Washington opportunity offers a four-day week, no call, and a $160,000–$200,000 base with meaningful incentive upside. Choose between an established, busy clinic in the Columbia Basin or a newer integrated practice in the Tri-Cities area, both backed by a stable team and a mission centered on access to care.
