We have many patients that want same day appointments and of course, their doctors are not always available. Thus, we need a skilled provider who can see urgent and symptom-based complaints as well as visits that may require short-term management of a more chronic condition. Or in plain English, you may see patients that don't have anything acute, but on that particular day decided their problem must be taken care of and no, they didn’t want to wait to see their PCP. Providers are scheduled approximately 16-19 patients per day (20 minute appointment slots). The population is more than half Spanish speaking, and the remaining are English with a sprinkling of a few Polish speaking patients. All of our staff is bilingual in either Spanish or Polish. Your colleagues would include five family physicians and one part time pediatrician. We are all really very nice and are a delight to be around! We have on site X-ray, Ultrasound, and weekly specialty clinics that include Ob/Gyne, Cardiology, General Surgery, Ophthalmology, Urology, ENT to name a few. Our goal is to bring as much on site so we can provide efficient yet cost savings care to our patients. We are looking for a physician who has reached that point in their career that they have tried a few different things in their medical journey but now want to find that place where they can settle in, provide good care with patients but not necessarily accumulate a huge patient panel of their own. Someone who likes to listen to the patient and sort out their diagnosis and support them in their journey back to their PCP. If you are looking for a place where all the staff knows and loves you, and when you walk in the hallway, patients wave to you, this is it. We’d love to hear from you if this sounds like you!
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
