A successful practice run by an experienced interventional physiatrist is in need of a new physician to help expand the practice and ultimately take it over to make it your own! The ideal candidate will be a true partner willing to work hard, learn the business and the market and then acquire it. This is a terrific opportunity to take over an already successful practice and your effort will give you the quality of life that you desire. This practice consists of Spine, Musculoskeletal Medicine, and EMG. A large portion of the clinic’s encounters are Workers Compensation visits, and so the new physician must be ready to be flexible and want to learn this well-reimbursing subspecialty, both on the clinical and the business side. A great clinician is a must, but the ability to connect with case managers, lawyers, and business media will be very important to the continued success of the practice – the road map to this is already laid. Your sustained effort is needed to maintain the relationships in this competitive market. You have to be able to present and speak on the practice protocols explaining how your approach better serves the patient and gets them healthy and back to work faster – saving money on Workers Compensation claims! Other payers include equal parts PPO and Medicare, with interventional procedures derived from orthopedic colleagues in the community, so experience with Fluoro, Ultrasound, PRP injections, and peripheral joint injections is needed (ASC is 1 mile away). There is also a satellite clinic in Modesto which can easily expand to a full time practice and help generate referrals to the interventional physiatrist. There are ancillary programs within the clinic: medication dispensing (lidocaine cream, Celebrex, etc., no narcotics dispensed but a small percentage receive prescriptions), drug testing and QME The practice is busy with a great staff, low overhead, and good location. The ideal physician would be one who is interested in owning the practice and continuing the care for the patient thereby earning a great work/life balance! This mid-size East Bay city is a wonderful place to live and work. It is a family-oriented community surrounded by other similar communities. Crime and poverty is very low, making this a perfect place to raise a family – after all, it has won the prestigious “Friendliest Community in America” award for back to back years! The central location in the bay area is ideal as you’re an equally short drive away from San Francisco, San Jose, Berkeley, Napa or anywhere else in the area you wish to go.
