“Doctor owned and managed offices thrive. When offices are controlled by private equity, cost cutting, low morale and high turnover rates run rampant. VC Dental Partners offers partner dentists a new option – one that prioritizes excellent patient care and experience, through ownership, funding and mentorship. Couple that with my 15+ years of experience and 30%+ year over year growth since inception track record and you’ve got a blueprint for dental success. Ready to open an office together?”
