PDS Health reviews

I loved and dedicated all my time and attention to this company until I got stabbed in the back. I was with this company for a year and a half, which is the amount of time it had been open, and before I was let go we were on our 9th Dentist, second Hygienist, fourth manager, and 7th dental assistant. Talk about a mess and revolving door. The office I worked for become unethical and the manager was inconsistent. I often wanted to tell the patients RUN! I believe the closer you are in CA the better the offices are managed. They talk about raises but it takes a miracle to get one. I know many ex employees who warned me about the company, I wished I listened. Due to this HORRIBLE experience I vowed to never work in dentistry again!!!

Although I noted numerous pros I believe the cons out weigh the pros. Company is cut throat about production and upselling procedures to non covered benefits (all ceramic same day restorations). Company promotes a religious agenda to promote their business model. Their is a distinct separation b/w backoffice and management. Management more concerned about personal bonuses vs employee happiness, setting unattainable goals that cant be met. The forced clinical training and continuing education for pressure sale environments and not really clinical CE units. CEO Steve Thorne cut health benefits for needy employees only to purchase a new jet the same year or have egocentric videos starring himself promting himself. The praise and admiration of HIGH PRODUCING DR's ethical or not and the belittling and dismissal of Associates with subpar daily production. P.S most high producers are fired eventually b/c they are ultimately abusing the commission. PDS /Dental groups etc are one of the biggest reasons patients have become weary at the dentist. This high sell, car lot mentality with a Thorne religious twist to gain the trust of the staff seems to equal the companies ultimate mission statement of Perfect Patient Experience (PPE).
