A well-established and rapidly growing private nephrology practice in the desirable northern suburbs of Atlanta is seeking a Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Nephrologist to join a collaborative, patient-centered team.

This practice currently includes two physicians and two nurse practitioners, fostering a collegial environment that values clinical excellence, teamwork, and long-term professional growth.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a physician seeking stability, autonomy, and a clear path to partnership in a supportive private practice setting.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Competitive base salary: $275,000 – $325,000
  • Partnership track after two years
  • 1:3 weekend call schedule
  • Dedicated Nurse Practitioner support
  • Established referral base and hospital relationships
  • Four weeks PTO + office holidays
  • CME stipend + professional membership reimbursement
  • Malpractice coverage
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Comprehensive medical, dental & vision benefits

Practice Environment

  • Collaborative and supportive physician-led team
  • Strong work-life balance
  • Growing patient demand in a thriving suburban community
  • Access to leading hospitals and healthcare systems

Location Highlights – Northeast Atlanta Suburbs

  • Highly rated public and private schools
  • Diverse, family-friendly community
  • Premier shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation
  • Convenient access to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
  • Enjoy suburban living without downtown congestion

Qualifications

  • MD or DO
  • Fellowship-trained in Nephrology
  • Board Certified or Board Eligible
  • Current fellows encouraged to apply
  • Ability to obtain/maintain Georgia medical license

This is an outstanding opportunity for a Nephrologist looking for long-term growth, partnership potential, and a high-quality lifestyle in one of Georgia’s most desirable communities.

If you’re open to a confidential conversation, I’d be happy to share more details.
