30 minute lunch breaks, no fluid systems with several dental assistants and hygienists. If you’re a DA, be prepared for half of your role to be dedicated to hygienists and their needs, because they are a priority and a provider. You will have to pay for your own parking unless you have the option of public transportation. They tell you you’ll work one Saturday a month, which is not true, you will work more. Little to no opportunity for growth or development. You’re just another brick in the wall. I had faith that Tend was not like the other DSOs (great expressions, PDS, coast) but they are no different. Tend says they’re “provider obsessed” but forget it. If you’re a DA, you’re a work horse.
