Associate Periodontist 1 Partnership Opportunity
Tucson, Arizona | Relocation Assistance 1 Signing Bonus 1 Future Ownership
Currently practicing in Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego, Albuquerque, El Paso, Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, or another nearby metro?
Sometimes the best career move isnt joining another practice.
Its choosing a market where your expertise is truly valued.
Across many large metropolitan areas, Periodontists are facing the same challenges:
• More specialists competing for the same referral base
• Corporate consolidation
• Longer commutes
• Escalating housing prices
• Partnership opportunities becoming increasingly rare
Just 90 minutes south of Phoenix, Tucson offers a different path.
A place where specialists continue to build meaningful referral relationships, enjoy an exceptional lifestyle, and create long-term wealth through ownership.
If youre ready to practice where your expertise is in demand-not just another name on a referral list-this may be the opportunity youve been waiting for.
335 Why Tucson?
While much of Arizona has experienced explosive growth, Tucson has quietly become one of the Southwests best-kept secrets for healthcare professionals.
Imagine finishing surgery at 4:00 PM and being able to...
3CC Play one of Southern Arizonas nationally recognized golf courses.
6B4 Ride hundreds of miles of road cycling routes with virtually year-round riding weather.
97E Hike Sabino Canyon before dinner.
3D4 Escape to the cool pines atop Mount Lemmon.
305 Watch sunsets over the Catalina Mountains from your backyard.
Few metropolitan areas in America offer this combination of professional opportunity and lifestyle.
Live Where Youd Actually Want to Stay
Many of our doctors choose communities such as:
Catalina Foothills
Luxury homes, mountain views, outstanding schools, and one of Arizonas premier residential communities.
Oro Valley
Master-planned neighborhoods, golf courses, exceptional public schools, family-friendly amenities, and quick access to outdoor recreation.
Marana
One of Arizonas fastest-growing communities, offering new construction, larger homes, excellent value, and convenient access to both Tucson and Phoenix.
Whether youre raising a family or simply looking for more space and a better pace of life, Southern Arizona offers options that are increasingly difficult to find in larger metropolitan markets.
An Outdoor Lifestyle Thats Hard to Match
With more than 350 days of sunshine annually, Tucson has become a destination for active professionals.
Within minutes of the practice youll find:
• Saguaro National Park
• Sabino Canyon Recreation Area
• Catalina State Park
• Mount Lemmon
• The Arizona Trail
• Patagonia Lake
• World-class cycling
• Championship golf
• Hiking
• Mountain biking
• Trail running
If work-life balance matters, its difficult to find a better market.
A Food & Culture Scene That Surprises Everyone
Tucson isnt just another desert city.
It was the first city in the United States designated as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, reflecting its internationally recognized culinary heritage.
Youll enjoy:
• Incredible Sonoran cuisine
• Award-winning Mexican restaurants
• Breweries
• Coffee shops
• Farmers markets
• University of Arizona athletics
• Arts and performing arts
• Festivals throughout the year
Southern Arizona also offers a rich multicultural heritage and easy access to unique weekend destinations throughout Arizona and Northern Mexico, adding to the regions distinctive character and quality of life.
Travel Is Easy
Tucson International Airport offers convenient nonstop service to many major hubs, making travel for CE courses, conferences, vacations, and family visits remarkably convenient.
Popular nonstop destinations include:
• Phoenix
• Dallas/Fort Worth
• Denver
• Chicago
• Atlanta
• Las Vegas
• Los Angeles
• Seattle
...and many more through a single connection.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
Most partnership opportunities never actually happen.
This one was built that way from the beginning.
The founder is actively planning for the future of the practice and is seeking someone interested in becoming a long-term partner-not simply another associate.
Youll join an established specialty practice featuring:
(Insert KPIs once available.)
Examples:
• Annual Collections
• Annual Implant Placements
• New Patients
• Active Referral Doctors
• Number of Operatories
• CBCT
• Digital Workflow
• Sedation
• Experienced Surgical Team
• Immediate Patient Flow
• Partnership Opportunity after approximately 12 months
Id actually make this section one of the first things candidates see after the opening, once we have the numbers.
Southern Arizonas Premier Referral Network
One of the greatest advantages of this opportunity is the strength of the existing referral relationships.
Youll inherit a mature referral network built over many years, allowing you to focus on exceptional patient care rather than spending years developing referral sources from scratch.
