Columbia Healthcare - Baldwin Hills, MI
About the POSITION
A Federally Qualified Health Center located in Baldwin, Michigan is seeking a General Dentist to join their team. This community-focused practice offers a unique opportunity to serve an underserved rural population while enjoying an excellent work-life balance.
The schedule can be either a four- or five-day workweek, with no evenings or weekends required. Options include:
Flexibility is possible, as some providers choose to work 32 or 36 hours rather than a full 40-hour schedule. No Saturdays!
This clinic is working toward having two full-time dentists onsite, but currently the incoming dentist will be the sole provider. With a patient waiting list already in place, there will be a full schedule immediately available.
Clinical services include the full scope of general dentistry—with the exception of implant placement and orthodontics—such as restorative care, extractions, endodontics, crown/bridge, and removable prosthetics.
The facility features 9 operatories, digital panorex and x-ray sensors, intraoral cameras, an electronic dental record system, and rotary endodontic equipment. The goal is to have two dental assistants per dentist, though currently there is one assistant (a second is being hired). One full-time hygienist is in place, with recruitment underway for an additional hygienist. Productivity expectations are approximately 1–1.5 patients per hour (excluding hygiene exams), with adjustments depending on support staffing.
Credentialing: Timelines vary by insurance carrier—some as quick as 1–2 weeks, others taking up to 4–5 months. Providers can begin seeing patients immediately with the insurances for which they are credentialed.
About the COMP & BENEFITS
Compensation is competitive, ranging from $131,400 to $164,300 annually.
