Job Description

Why join the Elite team?

We believe the best investment we can make is in our team so they have the resources they need to deliver outstanding customer service and excellent patient care. It's at the heart of everything we do.
Our team is like family- we invest in their success. Our culture and beliefs set us apart; we’ve taken the time to build a team by nurturing a family atmosphere and doing things socially together. We have regular staff meetings and allow everyone to have input on decisions that affect the practice.
We moved into our brand new, state of the art facility in September 2022. Our practice is the only endodontic practice in the area that offers an alternative to standard root canal therapy called the Gentlewave Procedure. Our patients describe it as “quick, easy, and comfortable”. At Elite Endo, we are changing the perception of root canals.
If you are a team player with a positive, cheerful attitude who loves serving others- please apply. We are willing to train less experienced candidates with great attitudes.
