Fellowship Trained Minimally Invasive​/Bariatric Surgeon

Description

An established and growing minimally invasive surgical practice in the Austin area is seeking an additional surgeon to join and expand the scope of the practice.

Our current group includes two surgeons and provides a broad range of minimally invasive, bariatric, foregut, and general surgical care. We are looking for a well-trained, clinically strong surgeon who is interested in building a long-term practice in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.

The ideal candidate will be fellowship-trained in Minimally Invasive Surgery, Bariatric Surgery, or a closely related advanced surgical discipline
.

We are particularly interested in candidates with one of two profiles:

• Advanced bariatric training and experience
  , including gastric bypass and preferably additional metabolic/bariatric procedures such as SADI-S or duodenal switch, with an interest in building a comprehensive bariatric practice beyond sleeve gastrectomy; or
• A strong
  advanced MIS/general surgery focus
  with complementary expertise such as foregut surgery, complex abdominal wall/hernia surgery, advanced GI endoscopy, endocrine surgery, breast surgery, or another area that expands the capabilities of the practice.

Candidates should be comfortable with a broad general surgery practice and willing to participate in general surgery emergency and acute care call
.

Experience with advanced laparoscopy and robotic surgery is strongly preferred.

This position offers substantial flexibility for the right surgeon to develop an individual area of expertise while benefiting from an established practice infrastructure, referral base, operating relationships, and growing Central Texas market.

The opportunity may be particularly attractive to a surgeon who wants to:

• Build a high-volume advanced MIS or bariatric practice
• Develop a complementary surgical niche within an established group
• Participate in robotic and minimally invasive surgery
• Maintain exposure to general and acute care surgery
• Develop long-term professional autonomy within a private-practice environment

This is an
employed position with a potential partnership track
available for the right candidate.

Compensation is competitive within the Austin market and includes a comprehensive benefits package and standard professional benefits.

Austin and the surrounding Central Texas region continue to experience significant population and economic growth. The area offers an excellent quality of life, strong schools, diverse communities, outdoor recreation, a nationally recognized food and cultural scene, and an attractive environment in which to establish both a career and a family.

• Board certified or board eligible in General Surgery
• Fellowship training in Minimally Invasive Surgery, Bariatric Surgery, or a related advanced surgical field
• Strong laparoscopic and/or robotic surgical skills
• Interest in building a long-term surgical practice
• Willingness to participate in general surgery emergency and acute care coverage
• Eligible for Texas medical licensure

Advanced bariatric experience, including gastric bypass and additional metabolic procedures, is highly desirable but not mandatory for candidates bringing another complementary area of advanced surgical expertise.
