Physician Assistant

Build your orthopaedic career alongside two highly experienced surgeons—while developing a practice of your own.

Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic is seeking a Physician Assistant to join the busy and growing practices of Dr. Sameer Nagda and Dr. Mihir Sheth. This is an outstanding opportunity for a PA who wants more than a traditional support role. You’ll work side-by-side with experienced orthopaedic surgeons, gain meaningful surgical and clinical experience, and have the autonomy to evaluate and manage your own patients.

Dr. Sameer Nagda is an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and conditions of the shoulder, elbow, and knee, with particular expertise in shoulder replacement surgery. Dr. Mihir Sheth specializes in orthopaedic conditions of the shoulder through the elbow.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

You won’t simply assist—you’ll become an integral part of the practice and the care patients receive from their first visit through recovery.

The Physician Assistant will participate in the full continuum of orthopaedic care, including:

• Evaluating and treating patients in the clinic
• Developing independent clinical decision-making and managing your own patient visits
• Assisting in surgery and participating in perioperative care
• Managing postoperative patients and their recovery
• Reviewing imaging and coordinating treatment plans
• Communicating with patients regarding questions, results, and ongoing care
• Collaborating closely with surgeons, clinical staff, and the broader care team
• Participating in call coverage

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who is clinically curious, motivated, collaborative, and eager to become an important part of a high-performing orthopaedic team.

Experienced Physician Assistants are encouraged to apply. We will also consider motivated new graduates who have a strong interest in orthopaedics and are excited about the opportunity to learn from experienced surgeons and build specialized expertise.
