Practice overview: Our mission statement says: We at WFD believe that everyone deserves our best–our patients, our employees, and, most importantly, our families. We strive to provide excellent, comprehensive, evidence-based dental care in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere of trust and kindness. We believe that through hard work and dedication we can conduct ourselves and our practice in a way that is a service to our patients, employees, and all of our families. We opened our practice in 2009 in Fort Gibson because we wanted to position our practice in a location that “needed” a dentist. To that end we settled on Fort Gibson as it is in Oklahoma’s most underserved county and it is the kind of place in which we wanted to raise our family. We wanted to be in a place with high dental need and plenty of opportunity so that we wouldn’t ever be in the position of “selling” dentistry as I find that unsavory and outside of my personal goals. My goals as a dentist are to provide long-term, comprehensive, predictable treatment as a service to my fellow man. To achieve that Dr. J and I have devoted ourselves to professional development. Competence breeds confidence in both the practitioner and the patient. Being highly competent requires a commitment to continuous professional growth and a commitment to procedural systems. To achieve these goals within daily clinical treatment we have developed systems for each of our procedures. The systems were taken from the latest dental literature and our doctoral training but we aren’t married to any technique. As the profession moves forward so will we. Our hearts are open to change and one of our goals is to be coachable. We are not seeking to hire an underling. We are looking for a colleague. Our practice and practice philosophy are built around the ideals of hard work, commitment to the patient, commitment to our employees and a commitment to excellence. Working in our office will afford the ideal candidate an opportunity to grow in their ability to communicate with patients, create comprehensive treatment plans, and improve their ability to be productive and well-compensated. Office Hours: Monday-Wednesday 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Thursday 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Friday 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Friday is a mandatory work day for the candidate. One of the primary reasons we are hiring a colleague is to expand the number of hours that our patients can access our office. Fridays will be the most important day for the ideal candidate as it will give them the opportunity to see new patients and build their patients. We expect the candidate to really focus on Fridays as it provides a unique opportunity to grow themselves and their patient cohort. Ideal Candidate: The criteria for the ideal candidate is simple: honest, competent, and ethical. This is a unique opportunity for a dentist as they will join a mature practice that is operating on refined systems with well-trained auxiliaries. These systems are in place to ensure we provide long-term, predictable dentistry for our patients and allow the practitioner to execute more ideal treatment. Who wants to come to work and do interproximal fillings, back to back, all day—NO ONE! While there are lots of fillings to do in any practice and doing them well is essential to daily practice, we want our doctors to have a schedule that is productive and fulfilling. This is an opportunity for the candidate to take the next steps in their professional development, mature as a practitioner, and increase their ability to be productive and happy!
