Why You’ll Love Working HereThis is an incredible opportunity to join a thriving private practice with a fully scheduled patient base, a tight-knit and drama-free team, and a culture that values both clinical excellence and human connection. Dr. Tom Hoff has built a reputation in Springfield, Missouri, as a trustworthy provider who delivers high-quality dentistry. He’s ready to hand you the keys to a busy, high-functioning schedule on day one.
You won’t need to build from scratch. This role comes with a $1M+ book of business, meaning from day one, you will have a full patient schedule waiting for you, modern technology, and an expanded 12-operatory space designed for optimal flow and comfort. You’ll have the clinical autonomy to do your best work and a support team that runs like clockwork, with experienced EFDAs, hygienists, and front office professionals who are trusted, respected, and here for the long haul.
This is more than just a job. It’s a place where team members joke together between patients, support each other without drama, and genuinely enjoy coming to work. If you’re looking for a lighthearted, production-steady, people-first practice where you’ll be respected and trusted, this could be your forever home.
You’ll thrive here if you’re a clear communicator who builds trust with discerning patients, someone who’s confident but not cocky, and a provider who believes in doing quality work the right way, every time. You’ll also have the chance to grow into ownership over time, with mentorship and support from a dentist who genuinely wants to see you succeed.
This isn’t the right opportunity for someone who prefers working alone or sees patients as numbers rather than people. But if you’re looking for a practice that feels like family and works like a well-oiled machine, we’d love to talk.
