Efficient and purposeful. You move with intention throughout the day, especially when the schedule is full. You understand how your pace impacts the entire team and the patient experience.

You can confidently communicate with patients in both English and Spanish. Reliable. You show up on time, prepared, and ready to contribute consistently. Team-oriented. You understand that in a startup environment, flexibility is key. We’ll all be wearing multiple hats, and supporting each other as we go. Motivated to grow. You’re open to feedback, willing to improve, and interested in developing your skills over time. What We Offer: Competitive compensation. A genuine opportunity to grow with us. This is a startup, and we’re building it together. We see this as the beginning of a long-term partnership in which you’ll always be fairly compensated for the value that you bring to the team.

A SIMPLE IRA with employer matching up to 3%, offering a straightforward and tax-advantaged way to begin saving for the future. Dental benefits for you and your family.
