Career Opportunities
We Offer a Better Way
We’re different from other DSOs because we saw the opportunity to create something better.
It all began with Dr. Peter Kelly, our co-founder and CEO. After working for a large corporate DSO and then venturing into private practice, he took the chance to rewrite the rules. So, he built a place that prioritizes people over profits and always puts our dentists, employees, and patients first.
With co-founder Matt Robinson, MBA, they created an experience where dentists could combine the best components of group dentistry and private practices.
Their vision centered around creating opportunities and environments for dentists and team members to reach their full potential. Where happier dentists and employees lead to better patient outcomes, resulting in healthier communities and a brighter future for us all.
Let's Build Something Great Together!
