Description
Associate Orthodontist – Partnership Opportunity
A well-established orthodontic practice (Associates in Orthodontics) with six thriving Northern Vermont locations is seeking a kind, energetic Associate Orthodontist with a potential path to partnership, if desired.
With over 60 years of practice history, our orthodontist-owned and operated group takes pride in delivering exceptional care in a state-of-the-art, all-digital environment. Each office is equipped with iTero scanners and Ortho2 Edge cloud-based PMS to ensure seamless and efficient patient care. Centralized full-service laboratory located in the main South Burlington office with multiple 3D printers and in-house aligner offerings.
Our practices are nestled amid beautiful mountains and lakes, offering an outstanding quality of life, excellent schools, and a great community lifestyle. You’ll enjoy the perfect balance between a rewarding career and an active lifestyle while working 4 days a week. Don't be afraid to reach out if you want less days as we can be flexible.
We are looking for an orthodontist who is:
Professional, kind, energetic, and compassionate
Excited to work in a collaborative, non-corporate, family-friendly environment
Comfortable traveling between multiple locations seeing patients in a completely collaborative environment
Ready to take over for a retiring full-time partner in June 2027,
Someone planning on staying long term- we are not an associate mill and seeking someone that wants to be with us and be in Vermont.
You’ll enjoy clinical autonomy while collaborating with two Board-Certified orthodontists, sharing patients and ideas to provide the highest quality of care.
Compensation and Benefits package:
Competitive salary ($1500- $2000 a day)
