Office-Based Dental Anesthesiologist — No Call. No Nights. No Weekends. 1099, FT, and PT opportunities available | Competitive Compensation | Long-Term Stability | Exceptional Quality of Life Washington — Federal Way

Join Ambulatory Anesthesia Care, a physician-led group redefining anesthesia through a modern, office-based model built around clinical excellence, autonomy, and genuine work-life balance.

Our patients are healthy, office-based pediatric and adult dental patients. Cases have short sedation and recovery times, and our dental partners start early — which means most days wrap up by early afternoon. That's time back for your kids' after-school activities, your own appointments, or simply enjoying everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Why Join AAC?

  • Consistent, predictable schedules — no nights, no call, no weekends
  • Fully office-based pediatric and adult dental anesthesia practice
  • True clinical autonomy — flexible procedure days/week
  • Stay close to home — scheduled at one office per day
  • Excellent safety outcomes and high patient satisfaction
  • Long-term stability — established contracts with room to grow
  • Turnkey operations — we handle staffing, medications, equipment, and logistics
  • Strong provider retention and low turnover — our clinicians stay because they love it here
  • A culture of trust and respect between physicians, staff, and patients

What We're Looking For

  • Board-certified or board-eligible Dental Anesthesiologist
  • Strong experience in office-based dental anesthesia
  • Active Washington license (or willingness to obtain)
  • Prior office-based or ASC experience preferred
  • Commitment to patient-centered, high-quality care and patient safety
  • Collaborative, team-oriented mindset with strong communication skills
  • What You'll Get
  • Competitive compensation
  • Comprehensive benefits (if W2): medical, dental, vision, malpractice, 401(k) with match
  • Retention bonus to support a long-term partnership
  • A role that honors your specialty, supports your autonomy, and protects your life outside of work
  • If you're looking to be more than a number — to be engaged in patient care and part of the future of healthcare — AAC is your new work home!
  • Apply today and take the next step toward a career built for both excellence and balance:
