Seeking a Long-term RDA for Pediatric Practice

Greetings! Are you interested in advancing your career and growing professionally in a fun and supportive practice environment? Are you people-oriented and enjoy working with children? If so, we'd love to hear from you!

About Us: We're a brand-new, state-of-the-art, pediatric dental specialty office in Fremont. What sets us apart is a focus on delivering exceptional customized care and service to our patients and families. Our goal's to help children set the foundations for a lifetime of good oral health, through positive dental experiences at the dentist.

Whom are we seeking?: We are seeking someone that is highly motivated and energetic, compassionate, enthusiastic, professional, team-oriented, and who is interested in a long-term role. An ideal candidate would be open to a 2-3 day part-time start with the opportunity for additional days of employment in the near future (open for discussion).
