Coast California - Lifestyle, Ideal Weather

GREAT PRACTICE AND INCOME

We are looking for an excellent otolaryngologist to join a busy well‑established otolaryngology practice. The ideal candidate is someone who is comfortable with most aspects of general otolaryngology and who is willing to take some call. Subspecialty training is a plus as our community is severely underserved in all of the subspecialties of otolaryngology.

Compensation package includes guaranteed salary with incentives, paid vacation, educational leave, medical insurance and retirement plan.

Our modern office is well‑equipped with a videostroboscopy tower, ultrasound, full in‑office endoscopy equipment, sinus equipment including navigation, numerous microscopes, a soundproof audiogram booth, and in‑office procedure instruments and equipment.

We have an exceptional supportive staff which includes 2 physician assistants, an audiologist, well‑trained medical assistants and a respiratory therapist. Our office offers the full spectrum of audio logic services including hearing aid dispensing. As part of our medical office, we also have an AASM‑accredited sleep center that performs more than 1,500 sleep studies per year.

The state‑of‑the‑art Marian Regional Medical Center is just across the street from the office.

Rated as one of the happiest places on Earth by Blue Zones author Dan Buettner. Besides having an unspoiled idyllic natural environment, the Central Coast has an ideal climate. The Almanac designated it as having the best climate in the nation with a perfect score of 100. Santa Maria is a safe, medium‑sized community with a population of 110,000 and a 250,000‑draw area.

We are on the beautiful Central Coast of California in Santa Barbara County, about 3 hours north of Los Angeles and four hours south of San Francisco. Just outside Santa Maria there are several desirable residential communities within a short distance from our office, including Nipomo, Orcutt, Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Shell Beach, Avila Beach and San Luis Obispo. In each community there are excellent public and private schools.

You can live on the beach, in town, or in the oak‑studded foothills.

The natural area of the Central Coast is unsurpassed in the quality and variety of recreational activities available, including biking, hiking, surfing, kayaking, fishing, boating, golf, wine tasting, horseback riding and other outdoor and cultural activities. Because of the great climate, these activities can be enjoyed year‑round.
