Apply Description

Peak Dental Services® was founded in 2008 by a dentist from small-town Minnesota, Dr. Douglas Peak, and his son A.J. Peak, a Kellogg School of Management MBA and former McKinsey and Company consultant. After a few 14-hour work days, they realized they needed help if the company was going to continue growing successfully. However, they weren’t willing to settle for just anyone; the team behind Peak Dental Services® is comprised of individuals with an exemplary understanding of the dental industry, including recruiting, marketing, finance, customer service, and training.

So, what sets Peak apart? Put simply, our people and our training systems. We have dedicated experts in various disciplines to support our partner dentists from hiring to billing. Further, we have custom-designed a professional development path with over 125 hours of continuing education for every team member in a dental office. Our commitment to high-quality staff and training enables our dental teams to perform on par with customer experience titans such as Starbucks, Ritz, and Nordstrom, and we believe that both our partner dentists and our patients can see the difference.
