Apex Dental Partners

I have truly enjoyed my time at Apex Dental Partners. It is a great company to work for, and one of the things that stands out the most is the incredible support from upper management. Leadership is approachable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in the success of both the team and the practices they support.

A typical day at work is fast-paced and rewarding. There is always something new to learn, whether it's improving patient experiences, supporting team members, or finding ways to make operations run more efficiently.

Working at Apex has taught me a great deal about leadership, communication, problem-solving, and the importance of building a strong team culture. The company encourages growth and provides opportunities to develop professionally.

The workplace culture is positive, collaborative, and team-oriented. Everyone is willing to help each other, and there is a strong sense of support throughout the organization.

The most enjoyable part of the job is working alongside an amazing team and knowing that we all share the same goal of providing excellent patient care. Being part of a company that values its employees and offers so much support makes Apex Dental Partners a truly rewarding place to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
My team was good and we worked well together in our office a lot of the time.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This is corporate but run like a start up. There is a lot of turnover and making things up as they go along. The direction we got was pretty disorganized most of the time, it was hard to keep up with all the changes and new faces.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Typical DSO corporate culture.  They are growing, but probably too fast to keep up with supporting all the employees they already have. We never really saw anyone from corporate in our office, sometimes the regional manager, but only a few times a year.  Corporate sends all the directions to the office manager and then she would tell us. Confusing culture and people and things change a lot.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Rushed, behind, overwhelmed. Not many people at my office to help me.

Most important aspect of being employed with Apex is flexibility. I am able to take PTO/Unpaid time off at a moment's notice. I love that my PTO resets each year. I like that I can control my schedule and that management is not dictating my day flow. If I need to accommodate a patient who needs more than 1 hour, I am able to extend their appointment however I need to. I do not feel pressured to meet daily production goals. Apex emphasizes that the hygienists see only 6-8 patients a day, and incorporating variety during the day. Most days I do not feel like a prophy mill., nor do I feel like I am forced to "sell" dentistry. I am pretty autonomous at my office.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Direct Deposit, occasional office parties at our location.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Confusing communication from higher ups. Growing too fast and it shows. Good people in some places, but processes aren't good and the software makes things harder than it needs to be, it is always failing when we try to take x-rays and they won't fix it.  They won't fix the major software issues we have. It feels very corporate and out of touch with what our locations actually deal with. Pay is too low for the amount of work and expectations on us. They need to fix what they already have before adding more.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Chaotic, stressful, can feel lonely depending on your office.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Managers do everything-very little support from regional managers except occasional calls or drop by visits. They don't really help us.

I truly loved the Apex Way and the culture the company promotes. The training and leadership development opportunities are excellent, and I learned a lot during my time here. The doctors I worked with were supportive, kind, and genuinely cared about patients and the team.

The main challenge I experienced was with regional leadership. My regional manager’s delivery could be harsh at times and very focused on numbers rather than people. While accountability is important, the approach often lacked empathy and created unnecessary tension. I believe Apex’s core values are strong — the experience just depends greatly on which leader you report to. Overall, I’m grateful for the lessons I learned and the people I met along the way.

My prior work experience has taught me that it's rare to find a group of people who truly care about others, are honest to a fault, and understand that working together is the best way to succeed.
At Apex, you have business and clinical professionals who prioritize the patients first. We don't have to worry about office politics because everyone knows that when we all drive to the same goal, then most of the little problems resolve themselves. 
Don't get me wrong, this isn't some utopia of rainbows and butterflies, but everyone I've worked with here knows how to be professional and resolve conflicts without creating a toxic environment. 
If you're looking for a place to make a career, I strongly suggest considering Apex Dental Partners or one of it's supported dental practices. 

I truly love working for my company because of the incredible people I get to work with every day. During one of the hardest seasons of my life, when I was struggling with personal issues at home and felt like everything was falling apart, my manager and my team were there for me in ways I'll never forget. My boss made me feel valued, needed, and supported, and my coworkers showed me more kindness and encouragement than I had experienced in a long time. During that difficult time, coming to work became my safe space. I'm so grateful to be part of such an amazing, caring, and supportive team. Thank you all for reminding me that great workplaces are built by great people

What is the best part of working at the company?
Well overall okay thats all I can say 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The doctor and not able to do the job that they pay me to do

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible because you have to walk on pins and needles

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working on comfortable walking on pins and needles not able to do the job that they pay you to do efficiently because the dental assistants feel entitled to do whatever they feel they want to do when they want to and the doctor is OK with that and that’s not what they hired Office Manager to do

Being an Office Business Manager at Apex Dental has been an amazing experience. I truly appreciate the support, opportunities for growth, and strong leadership that make this such a rewarding place to be.

A special thank you to Rachelle Dunlap for being an exceptional leader and mentor. Your guidance, encouragement, and commitment to developing others have inspired me to grow both personally and professionally. I’m grateful for the mentorship and the opportunities you’ve provided to help me reach my potential.

I’m proud to be part of a team that values excellence, collaboration, and continuous growth.

Expect to be overworked and underpaid. A person quits or puts in their notice? Oh… expect them to say “y’all are fine” and not rehire another person… so work becomes overly stressful (hence the overworked statement) and you and the only coworkers you have left are drowning without even a bit of compensation for our hard work…  turnover is insane and they don’t even care. Not to mention the amount of PUSH you get from the higher-ups who only care about money but not their employees doing the dirty work for them… you could be running on only a few employees and instead of helping, they talk about how much money our office isn’t bringing in. Do NOT work for this company!!!!
