Pacific Dental Services Reviews

Pros

*Great support from DSO, including corporate benefits (like discounts on tickets and memberships, good insurance, no cutting of hours, free CEs) *Owner docs have say over clinical decisions, and not some disembodied voice in another city or state

Cons

*PDS pushes you to work more more more, often to the breaking point of your clinicians, without any physical growth room available. They want you to work days before and after Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year, etc. *The break/lunch room for a 20 person office can barely fit 4-5 people in there *They don't use temps, for the most part. Huge inconvenience.

Pros

Great Clinical mentorship. Training in CAD/CAM CEREC dentistry. Training and engagement in patient treatment plan acceptance

Cons

high turnover. feeling "pushed" do refer only to in-house specialists and do 100% CEREC crowns. Sketchy employment contract and compensation structure for AD's.

Pros

Good benefits, ability to transfer to another office if needed, competitive pay

Cons

Poor leadership, they use threat of unemployment as a motivator rather than genuine support or additional personnel or compensation. High turnover with doctors and management staff . Terrible work life balance. Un realistic expectations on hours worked, production was pushed over quality and safety.

Pros

Awesome benefits, good pay, good team.

Cons

Expectations can be very unrealistic and just because managers are salary, regional managers expect that you slave yourself at the office to save on peoples cost. Worked with different Regional Managers, some are AMAZING, some are horrible which makes you loose all trust in PDS for keeping such bad apples. Offices are assigned to managers based on the buddy-buddy system and not on performance or distance.

Pros

I love the team I work with.

Cons

There are a lot of responsibilities accompanied with insane pressure to do well and perform quickly. This is a job that might not require a college degree, but definitely expects a degree-worthy sense of intelligence.

Pros

The pros are working and meeting great people throughout the years, the growth that can happen with time and pursuing into other roles

Cons

Poor communication within staff, to many changes happen very often , staff is constantly changing no consistency and overall too much turnover which patients notice it. The hours lack at times not allowing yourself to enjoy family time or personal time.
