Join a Collegial Practice Where You Thrive

Sound Physicians, a physician-founded and led organization, focuses on improving quality, patient satisfaction, and ICU performance. Our model is designed to challenge the status quo and transform the way critical care is provided. This is accomplished by our relentless pursuit to create value and eliminate waste in the ICU, implementing critical care programs that focus on improving the lives of patients while creating value for our hospital partners.

We ensure that physicians have the time and resources needed to deliver compassionate care that measurably improves quality and lowers the cost of healthcare for patients in the communities we serve. Our culture promotes physician autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Physicians have the ability to effectively participate in the process of change management within the community hospital ICU setting.

We are one team of 8 Intensivists & 7 APP’s, soon to be 10 Intensivists, providing ICU care at Dignity Health St Rose Dominican Siena and St Rose Dominican San Martin Campuses. Each are state-of-the-art facilities that offer a heart surgery center, respiratory services, joint replacement center, and more.

Siena Campus:

With the goal of always improving patient care and experience, our processes streamline transitions from the ICU to inpatient admissions.

Location & Lifestyle

Beyond the lights of the Strip and its world-class restaurants and entertainment, Las Vegas and the surrounding communities of Henderson and Summerlin are a different world. Beneath the veneer of a vacation destination are solid, family-oriented ethnically diverse communities with excellent schools, recreation, and resources for children, families, and retirees. The Las Vegas valley has great weather with 295 days of sunshine per year allowing year-round outdoor activities, including world-class golf and access to over 300 miles of dedicated biking and walking trails. Henderson city parks are ranked 19th in the United States by CNN and The Trust for Public Land. Mount Charleston at nearly 12,000 feet offers skiing and snowboarding less than an hour’s drive from downtown. Lake Mead, created by the Hoover Dam, offers year-round big lake boating. McCarren International Airport is the 9th busiest airport in the United States and offers direct flights to Asia, South America, and Europe. The lifestyle benefits of living in Las Vegas are compounded by affordable housing and no state income tax. There is a reason that Las Vegas is one of the fastest-growing cities in America.
