Our Ideal Team Member

We're looking for more than someone who can simply "assist."

We want someone who notices when a patient is nervous and knows how to make them feel comfortable. Someone who anticipates what the doctor will need next. Someone who takes pride in a clean operatory, cares about the little details, and is willing to jump in wherever they're needed.

Most importantly, we want someone who enjoys coming to work and being part of a team.

If you're dependable, caring, hardworking, and looking for a dental office where you can feel like part of the family, we'd love to hear from you!

How to Apply:
Please apply via cloud dentistry or email your resume to drperi@hanawaltdental.com.

We look forward to getting to know you and learning more about what you could bring to our team.
