You haven't provided a source for your 60% ortho legacy comment. I'd also like to say to all future dental school, residency and job applicants, do yourself a favor and attend EVERY SINGLE interview you get. I thought that was common knowledge but apparently not so. Firm, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to deal with the back door stigma, and other negative attitudes towards OEC and Jax, Co, UNLV (even if they're not OEC currently) for quite some time. The reasons are well documented here on SDN, and other literature (AAO, etc). I practiced dentistry in the real world for 2+ years and believe me, I and many of my GP colleagues never judged based on school. As a generally rule I stay away from high turnover practices and chains. I practiced in a semi-rural area so sometimes patients, due to waiting lists at my usual referals, and due to location, would infrequently go to the above mentioned specialty practices. But I'll tell you this, we did NOT ever refer to Imagine Ortho. I politely advised patients against Imagine. And I'm glad I did. That place was a mill in every sense of the word. Firm I think you're taking the OEC comments too personally and in the process changing the direction of this discussion. I'm not overly concerned whether you were #4,5,9, etc. This thread is about OEC PROBLEMS.
