I live in LA and I am tired of some con-artists with DDS degrees
have been working for

All they want is to make money for them and they would pay you a
little as possible ( 500-600-750/day

I am a very skilled dentist and I feel like I am being taken advantag
off when I am told: OK you produce 8000/day for me , I'll give yo
800

I hear in other states you can make 1000/day easily as an associate

They would give you a base of 300-400-450 and maybe 5 % of productio
, so no matter how much you make for them , you cannot go over 80
for you in a good day

Or they give you 20 % of production , but you have to do their nast
HMO work for free , so they could get countless capitation checks

It looks like robbery to me

Also it seems that some horrendous HMO corporations are spreading lik
cancer through California - the quality of dentistry is horrible , th
dentists are underpaid and overworked
What those companies want you to do is over diagnosing and cheating
on the patients and make tons of money for them , they do not car
about you or about the patients at all

They squeeze you like a lemon

Dentists working as associates ( slaves ), stop selling yourself s
cheap and open your own practice

Stop getting robbed by DDS or DMD con-artists

I read that it would be fair for the associate dentist to get 35% o
production; it does not happen in Los Angeles

 Any opinions
