Pros

My husband and I are both Office Managers for Aspen Dental. This is a company that wants you to grow and develop. Despite being known for “money” driven, Aspen Dental is all about patients. They educate and teach patients all about oral hygiene. N

Cons

If you don’t care about patients, or looking for an easy way out this isn’t a job for you. You must truly care about people and it’s hard work. It’s a growing company so as with any growing company communication can sometimes get skewed, so you have to be able to think on your toes to always help The patients get the care they need.

Cons

Nothing to change .very nice setup

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work

Pros

My patients were hardworking people who believed in my professional opinions and wanted to better their oral health. Got an hour lunch most days.

Cons

High turn around. Work life balance doesn’t exist. Extending hours late into evenings. No raises because of “potential” for monthly bonus. Selling unnecessary products to patients is highly emphasized so you can get that monthly bonus. Push for SRP and shoving LAA into 4mm pockets. Issues with the office? Don’t go to upper management because they give you PC answers and leave you hanging. They hold training seminars... and tell employees to rate 5 stars on job sites and offer you an “incentive” if you do.

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees and take action to resolve inner office issues.

Pros

I have worked here for 6 years. The first year of being a dentist is hard anywhere, but there is so much support and mentorship nowadays, especially for new dentists. I plan to make my whole career as a dentist with Aspen Dental. I hire my own staff, order whichever materials I want, treatment plan and treat patients the way I see fit, and do CE with Aspen and external to it. I also equip my offices with CT machines... and iTero scanners to make sure I have top notch technology. There is no one ever telling me how to practice, but if I need it, there are so many people I can reach out to for assistance. I have a great network of colleagues I trust not only for advice, but to treat my own mouth or that of my family's.

Cons

We meet a lot of patients every day, so if you aren't a decisive treatment planner this can be a challenge, but there are mentor doctors willing to help you improve your skills (if you are open to feedback). Every day of work is busy for me, but I do have full input on how I schedule, so if it is a tough day I really did it to myself.

Pros

Greatest work/life balance you could ask for. To know you work for a company who values what you do and who you are is the most satisfying feeling you can have. We truly get to help patients smile again, something that most people take for granted.

Cons

If you are not passionate about helping people and just want a job you can make money at, this job isn’t for you. They really want people who genuinely care about not only patients but each other.
