Haskin, D.D.S., Inc., it is simply how we have operated for over 50 years. Dr. Terry Haskin opened our practice in Watsonville, California, in 1973. What he has built is genuinely rare, featuring a deeply loyal patient base and a warm, high-performing team. Our culture is rooted in the belief that doing things right is never negotiable. This is not a corporate office chasing production targets. Instead, we are a place where integrity, clinical excellence, and authentic human connection drive everything we do. Our results reflect this commitment, with over $4.4 million in collections in 2025 and a lean 50% overhead. Our infrastructure is designed to let doctors focus on dentistry. With 8 operatories and a team of 5 assistants, including two with expanded functions, the operation runs smoothly every day. We also have 8 hygienists and a smart mix of in-office and remote business team members who handle patient communication, insurance, and scheduling. You will walk into a fully staffed and well-organized practice with a consistent patient flow of 70 new patients per month. This support system is built to have your back so you can provide excellent care in a stable environment. Mentorship at our practice is personal and meaningful. Dr. Haskin personally mentored his current associate from a new graduate to a skilled clinician over several years, and he brings the same level of investment to every provider he joins. He will help you refine your craft in ways that genuinely matter, from his signature technique for delivering completely comfortable anesthetics to his exacting standards on crown and bridge work. You will also benefit from a $2,500 annual CE allowance and access to top-tier technology. Our collaborative team culture genuinely wants to see you succeed and provides the support you need to grow professionally. Our practice is financially strong and operationally stable, which positions us for something exciting. We are joining a select group of high-performing independent practices. As part of this transition, there is a genuine pathway for the right associate to earn equity ownership alongside Dr. Gordon Goldstein and Dr. Haskin. Over three to five years, an associate can grow into a meaningful ownership stake. There is also the potential to participate in a significant financial event tied to the group's future plans. This is not a typical associateship but a ground-floor opportunity with one of the top-performing practices in Northern California. Freedom, California, is located in the heart of coastal Central California, perfectly positioned between Santa Cruz and Monterey. Within 25 minutes, you can be walking the Monterey waterfront or exploring the galleries and restaurants of Carmel. San Francisco and San Jose are just over an hour away, giving you access to world-class culture, sports, and dining while enjoying the beauty of daily coastal living. Whether you love the ocean, redwood forests, golf, or wine country, this area offers a stunning landscape and a desirable pace of life. People travel from around the world to visit our region, but you will have the opportunity to call it home. What We Value Exceptional Patient Care – Every touchpoint from the first phone call to a personal check-in after an extraction is a chance to show patients they are truly valued. Dr. Haskin personally maintains a tradition of calling his patients after procedures to ensure they are doing well. This level of care is the standard in our office, and our whole team works together every day to uphold this culture of genuine patient appreciation. Clinical Excellence – Quality dentistry done right the first time is our foundation. Dr. Haskin holds himself and every provider to an exacting standard because of genuine pride in the work. Our reputation across Santa Cruz County reflects five decades of that commitment. Teamwork and Staff Appreciation – This practice runs because of its people, and our leadership knows it. Our team is well compensated, celebrated, and deeply valued. There is no friction here because we are a group of professionals who genuinely enjoy working together and take pride in our environment. Coachability and Adaptability – We welcome dentists who are skilled and confident yet open to refining their approach in line with our proven standards. The willingness to listen and grow within a high-functioning system is one of the most important qualities a new associate can bring to our team. Calm, Steady Professionalism – Patients feel the energy in the room, so we prioritize staying cool and focused. Dr. Haskin is known for being completely present with every patient, regardless of what is happening behind the scenes. We look for that same composure and emotional maturity in everyone who joins us.
