Schedule: Full Time

Leadership and Growth with Dr. Luke Austin

Dr. Luke Austin leads with a style that’s rare — approachable, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the people around him.

This is not top-down mentorship. It’s side-by-side. You’ll have the opportunity to learn through real cases, open conversations, and a practice environment where questions are encouraged and growth is expected. Whether you're a new grad or early in your career, this is the kind of mentorship that builds confidence quickly and sustainably.

The Practice Environment & Clinical Growth

Strong systems, experienced team support, and a pace that reflects its demand. You’re be supported by an established and dedicated hygiene, assisting and administrative team in a setting that’s organized, and built for comprehensive care.

A true general practice with room to expand. Digital workflows, modern imaging, implant systems, and sedation support give you the ability to grow your scope without friction.
