What General Dentist Physicians in Colorado Say
"I work 5 days per week for 10 hours per day. I wish I had more work life balance."
Colorado2 years expDSO (Dental Service Organization)50 hrs/wk
"Im a partner in a Comfort Dental franchise, its kind of a mix between DSO and Private practice. It’s generally 4, 6 hour shifts (either 7:30am - 1:30pm or 1:30pm - 7:30pm) and 1, 12 hour shift a week. I can work as little or many shifts as I would like as long as it doesn’t create issues with the other owner partners. We also have the ability to take off as much or little time as we want… as long as we have a doctor there to keep the office open. "
