Associate Chiropractor
We are looking for an associate to be the lead chiropractor of a local practice we are building . The building is brand new with a custom layout, high traffic intersection of 25,000 cars per day. this office will see 200 visits per week. I am looking for a Subluxation based Chiro with a passion for helping people and growing a high volume practice in a great location.
We are currently adding digital X-rays, New tables full drop/flexion distraction tables, hydro beds, massage chairs, to 75 inch touch screen animated neuropatholators to help the doctor educate patients on “The Big Idea” easily and faster. We are making the perfect open concept and closed concept chiropractic habitat for a recent grad to not survive but to thrive. LaVallee Chiropractic will do all the advertising and marketing for you. This means you will NOT be doing spinal screenings, health fairs or exterior talks or anything I had to do 20 years ago. All I expect you to do is show up on time with purpose and to bring the heat.
You will have the benefit of training with myself in the oakland office and for the first few months in Oakland with Dr. bree martin and myself. The associate will have the choice of 3 compensation models but if you have half the energy and chiropractic philosophy that I or Dr. Bree has one choice will obviously stand out. This is a high energy positive environment with a lot of laughter. Reach out to Dr. james LaVallee Cell 207-5924855 or the office at 207-4654325. Base pay % guarantees $60,000 a year with an average of $104,000. our current associate is significantly higher then this. If your a chiropractic machine and embrace 11 hour days like myself you will be in the 120k-175k range. I am a firm believer of “you eat what you kill,” and “minimum risk = minimum reward.”
The Oakland office is 22 minutes from the new office right off the highway. You are close to many lakes, you are an hour from the ocean, and 1.5 hours from Sugarloaf Ski Mountain.
Dr. LaVallee is higher energy with a sarcastic edge that encourages laughter and quick wit and retort in the office. He is part geek, athlete, and chiropractic cyborg. “Doc” will retire and stop chiropractic table talk and adjusting patients when they place him in a pine box.
To thrive in this open adjustitorium environment that embraces “non-fluffy” adjustments you will require a strong Chiropractic Philosophy, the will to teach chiropractic principles and a sense of humor. Why work if it is not fun? Can you call a job a job if you love what you do? My ex wife will attest that I am not great at a great deal of things…however, I am a great chiropractor.
Office disclaimer: If you are not self-motivated or punctual, think participation trophies are a good idea, Think “The Big Idea” is a movie, you were the valedictorian of your class, or possess the personality of toast then you should not apply. If this scares you off then mission accomplished…. if you are intrigued what are you waiting for?
All Joking aside, the associate needs to be coachable, respectful of people and their beliefs/diversity, detailed with EMR documentation. You will need to be able to explain neurology and its relationship with cause and effect in vernacular the patient can easily comprehend. Be skilled with Gonstead, diversified, Thompson, flexion distraction, trigger points and PNF stretching. Your malpractice premium will be covered the first year. as well as your MCA dues. I am clearly not casting a wide net for an associate I am casting a rather small net looking for the right fit for this practice.
Make it a Great day and have fun in practice,
Doc
