Gastroenterologist Opportunity – DeTar Healthcare System (Victoria, TX)
Build the region’s GI presence in a high-demand market
DeTar Healthcare System is seeking a BC/BE Gastroenterologist to establish a full-scope practice within our growing health system. This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a community with significant unmet GI demand, supported by a strong primary care network and surgical team.
Position Highlights
- Hospital-employed role with full administrative and operational support
- No existing dedicated GI provider onsite — general surgeons currently manage GI call and perform colonoscopies/EGDs
- High community need with substantial referral volume ready on day one
- Inpatient/Outpatient mix: flexible; proportions shaped by candidate preference and demand
- Clinic schedule: Mon-Thu: 8am-5pm; Fri: 8am-12pm (half day)
- Clinic volume: 20-25 patients per clinic session
- Procedures:
- Current surgical team performs colonoscopies and EGDs; ERCP preferred but not required
- Strong opportunity to expand GI procedural offerings and volumes
- General surgeons will continue to share GI ER call; new GI can expect ~10 days of call per month
- APP Support
- Two NPs currently support general surgery and can support GI
- Plan to add additional NP as volumes grow
- Resident Mentorship: opportunity to teach Family Medicine residents who rotate through specialty departments
- Modern practice environment with dedicated office space
- 1099 PSA option available if preferred
- Opportunity to participate in clinical research and clinical trials
What We Offer
- Competitive MGMA-aligned compensation and fair market value structure
- Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision & life insurance
- Student loan repayment assistance
- CME funds, licensure support & relocation assistance
- Supportive administrative and physician leadership committed to practice growth
