Description

An established orthodontic practice serving multiple communities in Southeast Iowa is seeking a compassionate and experienced orthodontist to provide temporary clinical coverage during an unexpected ownership transition.

The practice has locations in Burlington, Fort Madison, and Keokuk, Iowa, and has built a longstanding reputation for providing high-quality, patient-centered orthodontic care to families throughout the surrounding region. The selected orthodontist will work alongside an experienced and dedicated team to ensure continuity of care for current patients while the practice identifies the right long-term successor.

The anticipated length, schedule, and structure of the engagement are flexible and can be tailored to the availability of the selected candidate. Orthodontists who are available for recurring coverage—even if not available on a full-time basis—are encouraged to apply.
