Pawsitive Pediatric Dentistry | Ephrata, PA
Open to Part-Time or Full-Time

Are you a pediatric dentist who loves working with kids, but wishes you had more time to really connect with your patients and their families?

At Pawsitive Pediatric Dentistry, we believe you can have both: a strong income and work that feels meaningful.

One of the best parts of this opportunity is the lifestyle that comes with it. Ephrata offers a little more space and ease, while Lancaster County gives you access to a genuinely great food scene, coffee shops, markets, boutique shopping, and towns like Lititz and Lancaster City that are full of charm and energy. You are also close enough to Philadelphia, New York City, and nearby airports to travel easily whenever you want.

There is also something special about practicing in an area like this. Because the market is not as saturated, there is more room to grow, more opportunity to build long-term relationships with families, and more potential to make a lasting impact.

We are a growing pediatric dental practice looking for a board-certified or board-eligible pediatric dentist to join our team.
