Job description
Associate Dentist – Private Practice with Mentorship & Ownership Pathway Location: Catskill, NY Status: Full-Time | 4–5 Days/Week Compensation: $200,000–$300,000+ Daily Guarantee: $900/day
Benefits
Mentorship | Clear Ownership Track Why You’ll Love Working Here At Catskill Dental Care, we pride ourselves on being a practice that feels like family while maintaining the highest standards of dentistry. We have been a trusted part of our community for over 30 years. Our reputation is built on ethical treatment planning, a dedicated staff that has been with us for years, and a warm environment where patients always come first. Dr. Joe Pilatich leads our team with humility and integrity. He has a deep respect for everyone he works with, which creates a supportive space for our associates to learn and grow. We truly value both the quality of our work and the people we serve every day. When you join our practice, you will enter a highly organized and efficient environment designed for a smooth daily workflow. With eight operatories and a fully cross-trained team, you can focus your full attention on providing great care to your patients. Many of our team members have been with us for decades. This longevity has created a supportive and cohesive atmosphere where we value clear communication and helping one another. It is the kind of office where patients stay for 30 years, and our staff members choose to stay just as long. For anyone seeking mentorship, our practice offers an incredible opportunity to learn. Dr. Pilatich has spent decades training associates in implants, restorative dentistry, endodontics, and complex treatment planning. He provides hands-on support whenever you need it within a calm and supportive environment. We also ensure you have the right tools to grow and succeed. Our office is fully equipped with Dentrix, CBCT, and Trios, along with digital imaging and modern systems for implants and endo. You will have everything you need here to provide excellent care and expand your clinical skills. Catskill Dental Care is a stable and busy practice with over 5,700 active patients. We have a clear and honest plan for the office's future. Dr. Pilatich intends to transition ownership within the next two to five years and is looking for a humble, ethical person to carry on his legacy. This is a rare opportunity to join a thriving practice and eventually become the owner, with full support and mentorship throughout the process. Beyond the office, the lifestyle here is wonderful. Catskill, New York, is a growing community where people come to relax and enjoy their surroundings. We are just minutes away from the vibrant arts and food scene in Hudson. The area is surrounded by beautiful mountains and river views with four distinct seasons. It is a perfect spot for anyone who values a balance between work and life. Whether you enjoy outdoor activities, great local dining, or a more relaxed pace, you will quickly find that this area feels like home. What We Value Communication – Clear and respectful communication is the foundation of our practice. Many of our patients are older or feel anxious about dental work, so they appreciate explanations in plain language rather than technical terms. We are looking for someone who enjoys connecting with people and helping them feel safe and understood. Honesty & Ethics – We do not pressure patients or recommend unnecessary treatments. This is a high-trust environment where integrity matters more than production numbers. Our goal is for patients to feel the same level of confidence in you that they have placed in Dr. Joe for over thirty years. Humility – There is no room for egos in our office. We value associates who are open to learning and comfortable working within the established flow of our practice. The most successful people on our team are grounded and focused on what is best for the group. Adaptability – Dentistry can be unpredictable, and we appreciate clinicians who stay calm when the schedule changes. Whether you are dealing with an emergency walk-in or a broken tooth, you will thrive here if you can adjust your plan while maintaining your composure. Patient-First Mindset – Our patients are loyal and often bring their entire families to see us. They stay with our practice because we make them feel cared for. Bringing warmth and a genuine interest in their lives is just as important as your clinical skills. What You’ll Do

Our patients are incredibly loyal, with many staying for decades or even traveling from out of state for care. The level of trust in this community is exceptionally high. Culture With Zero Drama – Our team is long-tenured and deeply supportive of one another. We maintain an environment free of drama and ego where everyone focuses on providing great dentistry. It is a family-oriented workplace built on the principles of integrity and mutual respect. Real Ownership Pathway – Dr. Pilatich plans to transition the practice over the next 2 to 5 years. He is looking for a successor who is humble, ethical, and committed to a long-term future. This is a rare opportunity to eventually take ownership of a thriving private practice with full support along the way. Who We’re Looking For Someone who is… Humble and Eager to Learn - You are willing to grow both clinically and personally without letting ego get in the way. Ethical to the Core - You always put your patients' best interests above production numbers. Calm Under Pressure - You can handle emergencies and a busy schedule while maintaining your composure.
