Total Joint Orthopedic Surgeon - Phoenix, AZ

Now Hiring: Total Joint Orthopedic Surgeon

Location: Phoenix, Arizona

Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Opportunity

A well-established, high-volume orthopedic practice in Phoenix, AZ is seeking a fellowship-trained Total Joint Orthopedic Surgeon to join its expanding surgical team. This role offers the rare opportunity to step into an existing patient panel from a retiring surgeon, providing immediate surgical volume and a strong referral base from day one.

This position is ideal for a surgeon seeking clinical autonomy, professional stability, and long-term growth in a private practice environment. You’ll focus primarily on shoulder and elbow reconstruction, supported by a collaborative team and in-house services designed to streamline workflow and optimize patient outcomes.

Work Schedule & Setting

• Clinic / OR Split: 2.5 days in clinic, 2 days in the operating room
• Call Coverage: Light weekday call; optional paid weekend trauma coverage available
• Setting: Outpatient orthopedic clinic and surgery center (no travel required)
• Support Team: Full physician assistant coverage for rounds, pre-op/post-op, and documentation

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $300,000 – $400,000 annually (commensurate with experience)
• Incentive Plan: Additional income through a collections-based bonus structure

Comprehensive Benefits Include:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid vacation and sick leave
• 401(k) with employer match
• CME and licensure reimbursement
• Malpractice insurance with tail coverage
• Relocation assistance and sign-on bonus available

Why This Role Stands Out

• Established Patient Base: Immediate case volume from a retiring partner
• Specialty Focus: Build your practice around shoulder and elbow reconstruction
• Physician Autonomy: Operate in a private practice model with leadership input
• Integrated Support: In-house imaging, PT, and administrative infrastructure
• Quality of Life: Balanced clinic and surgical schedule with low call burden

Core Responsibilities

• Diagnose and manage shoulder and elbow conditions such as rotator cuff tears, fractures, arthritis, and instability
• Perform both arthroscopic and open procedures, including total shoulder replacements and complex reconstructions
• Collaborate with in-house rehabilitation providers for comprehensive treatment plans
• Provide detailed pre- and post-operative patient education and care
• Maintain accurate documentation in the EHR system
• Participate in clinical meetings and ongoing quality improvement initiatives

Qualifications

• MD or DO with eligibility for Arizona medical licensure
• Completion of an ACGME-accredited orthopedic surgery residency
• Fellowship-trained in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery
• Board Certified or Board Eligible through the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery (ABOS)

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Skilled orthopedic surgeon with subspecialty training in shoulder and elbow procedures
• Excellent diagnostic and surgical decision-making skills
• Strong communicator with a patient-centered approach
• Team-oriented and motivated to grow a specialty-driven practice in a thriving Phoenix community
