Dr. Mullen's established Redding practice is growing and looking for a full-time Associate Dentist to join us four days per week. With approximately 50 new patients each month, a busy hygiene program, and strong demand for restorative care, there is already plenty of dentistry waiting for the right doctor.
And if you're a newer dentist looking for real mentorship? You'll find that here, too.
