Founded in 1994, Pacific Dental Services® (PDS) is one of the country’s leading dental support organizations, providing supported autonomy that allows dentists to concentrate on clinical excellence and the highest levels of cost-effective comprehensive patient care. PDS originated the Private Practice +® model to enable dentists to focus on their passion: serving patients. PDS also pioneered the concept of Modern Dentistry so dentists are equipped to combine advances in the latest technology with the best operational practices and procedures, highly skilled support staff and a commitment to ongoing training and education. PDS continues to grow, with over 800 supported dental offices throughout the United States and plans to expand into several new markets. PDS-supported dentists aim to be the provider of choice in all the markets they serve, helping to develop Patients for Life™.

But creating healthier, happier patients doesn’t stop inside the office, PDS also focuses its efforts outward – serving locally, nationally and internationally throughout the year. In 2020, PDS team members came together to serve in the face of incredible challenges and provided over $5.5 million worth of donated dentistry and volunteered over 23,000 hours of time through charitable events.

PDS has been on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America 14 times, demonstrating its commitment to growth through challenging economic times. By relentlessly pursuing its vision of being The Greatest Dental Company in America and operating in accordance with its core set of values, PDS plans on opening 150 new supported offices during the next two years.

in the healthcare industry, they don't provide a good medical benefits package, and the management level never considers carefully on talent retention.

Daily deadlines that are hard to meet because of sidebar issues and lack of scructure. I have learned more in my field than I thought I would, but have learned how culture can dictate your mood and performance. Management is a buddy club, that makes a point to belittle and bully, those that are not the flavor of the day. Hardest part of the job is dealing with the personalities of those in leaders...

Stay Away. This company will stress you out especially if you’re a travel specialty assistant. They don’t care about you and always short staffed. Doctors, managers, other DA’s who have been with the company are horrible.

Bad management, bad corporate culture. Not worth it staying longer than a few months. Toxic work environment. No support at all. Assistants talk about newly hired employees behind their backs. Only company I've ever worked for that gave me a very difficult time.
