Orthopedic Spine Surgeon

Opportunity

At Orthopedic Specialists of Seattle, we are excited to begin a search for a fellowship trained Spine Surgeon to start Fall 2020. We are seeking a highly motivated surgeon trained in Orthopedic Spine.

Our current partners are all fellowship-trained, and range in age and scope of practice, covering adult reconstruction, sports medicine, shoulder and elbow, hand surgery, complex surgery of the hip and knee, and foot and ankle.   We feel that a significant opportunity exists within our region and referral network for a spine surgeon to rapidly grow an active practice.

About Orthopedic Specialists of Seattle (OSS)

OSS is a care center within the Proliance Surgeons system.  Proliance is an entirely physician-owned and managed corporation, consisting of 250 orthopedists, general surgeons, ophthalmologist, urologists, and ENT specialists in 100 Care Centers throughout the Puget Sound area.  While our size allows us to competitively contract with our local insurance carriers, physician ownership and management results in an excellent amount of local autonomy at the Care Center level.  A new associate would be potentially eligible for shareholder status in the corporation upon ABOS certification.

We staff two clinics in the Seattle area, and own and operate our own surgery center, MRI, and physical therapy facilities.  A new associate would be placed on partnership track with the hope that they would be able to be fully participatory in those facilities within 2 years of starting with us.

We admit patients to two excellent hospital systems, Swedish Medical Center and Northwest Hospital.  We are compensated on a per diem basis for Emergency Room call, and this would be available as a good revenue source for an associate starting a practice. All partners share group/weekend and trauma call, which is at a Level 2-3 acuity.

Seattle is a wonderful city, recognized internationally as having an outstanding quality of life.  One can sit in the opera on Friday evening, and drive 40 minutes to skiing Saturday morning.  Our partners all enjoy a variety of outdoor and indoor hobbies with their families.
