Report
Every dentist that has a hygienist knows how difficult it is to fill that position if that hygienist calls in sick. Dental Power has a skill for recruiting very professional staff who do quality work. This is important to us as we have not always experienced this from other agencies. If I have a staffing need I always call Dental Power first! Maq Serang, DMD
