• Busy Fort Wayne Dental Office in need of associate Dentist to practice 1 to 2 days weekly. Three fully equipped operatories immediately available. Practice your profession, not as an employee, but operate under contract as an independent practioner, performing your own practice procedures. Method of payment is 55% of all collections are credited to the performing dentist. Owner provides all front desk services.  Office is capable of providing a full schedule of 1 or 2 days weekly. By using this arrangement and according to most recent years, a new participant can expect annual benefits to be in the six figure range.
  In many years past, this working agreement was arranged for the purpose of a new practioner coming into the office, whereby their expenses could be similar to that which would be generated should they have their own individual practice. Since most General Dental practices experience an overhead of 55% or more, it has been acceptable to have the dividsion of fees collected at 55% and 45%. This relates to the fact than an employee-employer relationship has never been intended. In respect for the profession, the owner holds this to be true. For additional information, please contact Cliff Salk, DDS or email resumes to newyorkdentist37@yahoo.com
