Why people take this job over the clinic down the street

• Mentorship. We invest in mentorship. It's a core focus here, not an afterthought.
• We pay for credentials. Take CEU coursework and your compensation goes up — a permanent increase, not a one-time bonus.

Pay: $75,000.00 - $97,000.00 per year
