Don’t take our word for it, read what some of our partners have to say about being a part of Ascendent Health Partners

Jordan Annis, D.M.D.

Honest Teeth Dentistry
As a former associate dentist who has chosen to partner with Ascendent Health Partners, I can genuinely say that this is one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career. From day one, I have felt embraced by a supportive and collaborative environment. The camaraderie among the doctors is remarkable; we share ideas, seek advice, and navigate challenges together, creating a sense of teamwork that is truly inspiring. 
 
What I appreciate most about working here is the autonomy I have in treating my patients. I am empowered to make clinical decisions that align with my professional judgment, free from external pressures. This level of trust fosters my confidence and enhances the quality of care I provide. 
 
The support from my colleagues has been invaluable. Whether I’m looking to discuss treatment planning or seeking insights on a particular procedure, I know I can count on my fellow doctors for sound advice. Additionally, the encouragement to pursue continuing education and the generous stipend provided for it demonstrates the company’s commitment to our professional growth. 
 
The culture at Ascendent Health Partners strikes an ideal balance. We are all deeply committed to achieving the best clinical outcomes, yet we also understand the importance of enjoying our work and each other’s company. We share laughs, vent about challenging cases, and genuinely care for one another. This camaraderie has significantly improved my work-life balance. 
 
Joining Ascendent Health Partners has unlocked a level of happiness and contentment in my career that I didn’t know was possible. Having previously worked in both private practice and a large DSO, I often dreaded going to work due to poor culture and lack of support. Now, I look forward to each day, and my family and friends have noticed a positive change in my demeanor and enthusiasm. 
 
I wholeheartedly recommend Ascendent Health Partners to any dentist seeking a fulfilling career. The opportunities for success, professional growth, and personal happiness are truly unparalleled.

I can proudly say I’ve spent most of my dental career with Ascendent Health Partners. I moved from a small private practice I loved, to something on a larger scale with more opportunity for growth and development. Not only do I walk into work with a smile on my face everyday, I also come home to my family with one as well.

Ascendent Health Partners has allowed me to pursue and attain my professional and financial goals while also respecting my personal life outside of dentistry. I truly feel valued in this space and look forward to a long career within their company!

The number one thing that I was seeking in my transition, was to find a dental home for my patients once I fully retire. I needed a place that I trusted, and had solid practitioners, because these patients have become  family over the years. Joining Ascendent Health Partners was everything I hoped for.

My work life balance has improved significantly. I no longer have to worry about staffing, compliance, payroll, and emergencies. I work the days I want and do what I’m trained to do, dentistry. Its much more enjoyable, with out the other headaches.

I never looked to sell to corporate dentistry, who don’t think patients needs are their first priority. At Ascendent Health Partners, patients come first, that’s the way I practiced for 40 years and that’s what I was looking for.

I would recommend joining Ascendent Health Partners, if someone was looking to transition. It was very easy ,the staff was very welcoming. The patients have had an easy transition as well, because they feel, people care about them.

When I decided it was time to transition my practice, I wasn’t negotiating from a position of strength. I needed a partner who could move quickly, treat my team fairly, and ensure my patients would continue receiving the level of care they deserved. Ascendent Health Partners delivered on every one of those promises.

They made the entire transition happen in a remarkably short time, honored the commitment to the team that chose to stay, with additional benefits as part of a larger organization.. Most importantly, they preserved the culture of care that had been built over the years while giving the practice the resources to continue growing.

Looking back, I’m grateful for how the transition was handled. It was a major decision, and I’m confident it was the right one for me, my team, and the patients who trusted our practice.
