"One of the biggest things that, if you’re not prepared for it, can really weigh on you is personnel management. Having PDS control the personnel management in the office is probably the biggest reduction in problems and stress for a Dentist."
Dr. Lance Rygg Owner Dentist

"It’s a lot better because of the training involved. Most Dentists don’t train their staff. They have a tendency to hire somebody and if they work out, great; if not, they fire them. That’s one of the things that Pacific Dental Services has developed over the years is the ability to train, not just doctors, but Managers, Treatment Coordinators, Lead Assistants, RDAs – the full gamut of staff in the office."
Dr. Tanisha Jackson Owner Dentist

"I would highly recommend PDS. It is a perfect environment to realize your dream of ownership, develop your most important skills, and still have that safety blanket that you know you’re not in it alone."
Dr. Sonny Chokka Owner Dentist

"There’s a lot of capital involved in starting an office, especially from scratch. With PDS, they’re helping you out financially to get an office going, allowing you to concentrate your time almost 100% clinically and on day-to-day care of the patients. And that’s what helps grow the office."
Dr. Bryan Watanabe Owner Dentist

"It boils down to peace of mind, knowing that you have financial security. I don’t worry about not being able to make my loan payment or my business payments. I know that I will be able to make all of those payments, and contribute to the growth of the office."
Dr. Alex Sharifian Owner Dentist
