Bad Terrain for Dentists

Recommend

Pros

New offices with modern equipment.

Cons

Poor mid- and upper management, hostile work environment, astronomical turnover (due to poor management), cult-like setting, refusal to listen to employees (by HR and management). If you voice a concern or wish to improve things, expect retribution. I feel that this a management company and not a dental company as the concern is not patient care and feedback. Most of their managers do not have previous dental experience, yet set the standards for expected treatment. Very frustrating conditions for a dentist. Sadly, the CEOs belief statements are neither followed nor practiced.

Pros

The CEO, Steve Thorne is a true visionary in every sense of the word. He developed the concept of the company and has worked hard over the years to fine tune the organization. He is charasmatic, down to earth and a straight shooter, all qualities I was immediately attracted to .

Cons

Unfortunately, Mr. Thorne's vision (in my opinopn) seems to be disregarded by some members of leadership, or translated in a self serving fashion by others. I often feel Mr. Thorne may not have the most loyal management team when I witness this miscarriage of leadership. There is virtually no Performance Management, Mentoring (for management or employee), except the robotic annual review process. No time investment to the employee. in this organization the dentist is the valuable asset, the other employees are made to feel dispensible. Weeks, weeks and weeks can go by before we see a Regional Leader/Manager in our area... another reason the employees/managers lack morale , motivation or a feeling of value to the company.

A waste of five years

Pros

You get paid. Their 401k match is sad. You have to put in six years to get vesting for at most $3-$4k.

Cons

Lazy front desk staff don’t want to work or present treatment plans. They lie and make up stories so they don’t have to do their jobs. The hygienist is corrupted and wants to do scaling on every patient. She’s a diva and dishonest. The management backs her because they don’t want to punish someone who makes money for them. They’ll cheat you on your collections bonus.
