  • Win-Win!
    The thing I appreciate most is how the personal expertise of your company allowed this transition to flow as smoothly as possible between the seller and myself. I have heard horror stories from my friends on how badly things can end up between seller and buyer. You allowed both parties to gain even more respect and appreciation for one another. That is something I will always be thankful for!

  • This is my third time working with Kathy, and I can tell you I would not want to do it without her. The first time working with Kathy, she was able to find us a great match for an associate. Three years later she helped us make him our partner. A year ago my husband, who was the senior partner in our practice, passed away and I knew Kathy was who I needed to call. Because I had worked with her before, I knew she was someone I could trust. She understands the business inside and out. Kathy is honest and professional and will look out for the best interest of all parties involved. The dentists and I were all very pleased and thankful for Kathy and the way she walked us through every step. Call Kathy today, you will be glad you did.

  • I am thrilled to recommend Kathy Johnson and​ Dental Practice Professionals. As the managing member of our multi-location and multi-doctor group practice, I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Kathy for a number of years. Initially our relationship began while Kathy was overseeing the transition of dental practices from selling to buying doctors. I'm pleased to count myself as one of the numerous success stores that Kathy has helped foster, as I have purchased multiple dental practices while working with Kathy.

  • I had the pleasure of meeting Kathy through our residency program. A Faculty Specialist Dentist highly recommended her. Kathy was so enjoyable and knowledgeable to be around and took her time meeting needs and far exceeding expectations! I am so grateful for the job opportunity she arranged for me and couldn't have gotten to this point without Kathy's help!

  • When I met Kathy, I was going through a difficult transition in my career, and she took the time to really get to know me as not only a doctor, but as a person. She helps take what would normally be a stressful process of placement and makes it seem so easy/seamless so I didn't have to worry or stress. I trust her fully.. She goes up to bat for me, and doesn't settle until she finds the perfect match for myself and all involved! I am so grateful for her services and friendship!

Placement Services

At Dental Practice Professionals, all we place are DENTISTS and DENTAL SPECIALISTS, no physicians, nurses, team members, or administrators. With a combined 50+ years actively working in the dental field with hundreds of dentists, we know what it takes to make the right matches for dentists. Whether you need an associate dentist to help in your existing office, or if you are a dentist seeking employment (new or experienced!), we can help make the connections for you. We are familiar with a variety of dental practice settings, and over the past 25 years, we have come to know many practicing dentists in the Midwest personally. This allows a better match to be made, because we are not just dropping an associate into a "slot"; we are taking the time to match the people with the practices on a personal level as well as on a skill set level.

There is no charge for the employee, only for the practice, and this is due in two parts, one at the associate's contract signing and the remainder 90 days the associate's first day in the practice.

We currently serve the Midwest Region, Kansas, Missouri, Northwest Arkansas, and Northeast Oklahoma; but we do have leads in other areas of the country, and we continue to expand!
