Neurosurgeon Needed for Surgical Hospital in the South, No Trauma Call

A surgical hospital in the south is recruiting a spine-focused neurosurgeon to the community. There are currently six neurosurgeons in three different private practice groups that admit to the hospital, and two of the senior neurosurgeons have plans to retire in the near future.

This is a 100% elective spine only practice. The incoming neurosurgeon will take on patient referrals from the clinic and they currently see patients in three different communities. A local neurosurgeon retired in 2021 and routed all of his referrals to this practice which was already extremely busy.

There is no ER call and call is 1 to 2 evenings per week and every 4th to 5th weekend for patient call. There is the opportunity to take call at other community hospitals if desired, to help grow your volumes.

Opportunity Highlights:
• Block OR time available with additional ORs—added in 2021
• Hospital sponsored income guarantee, sign-on bonus, options to buy into hospital after 2 years
• Elective spine practice with no trauma call expectation
• Ability to take call at community hospitals if desired
• Call schedule of 1 to 2 evenings per week and every 4th to 5th weekend for patient call
