Job description
Neurosurgeon
$800,000–$900,000+ | Spine-Focused with Optional Cranial | Sustainable Call | High-Demand Market
This is a serious Neurosurgery opportunity for a surgeon who wants elite compensation, a strong case mix, and flexibility in clinical focus — without being boxed into a rigid academic model.
A growing neurosurgical program aligned with a respected regional health system in South Louisiana is expanding and seeking a Neurosurgeon to join a high-demand practice. Spine-focused candidates are encouraged to apply; cranial experience is a plus but not required.
The Big Questions — Answered Up Front
Compensation?
-
$800,000–$900,000+ total compensation potential
-
Final structure based on experience, procedural mix, and call participation
-
Designed to reward productivity without burnout
Call?
-
Shared neurosurgery call
-
Sustainable structure with hospitalist and specialty support
-
Call model built for long-term retention, not overload
Case Mix?
-
Strong spine volume (degenerative, trauma, general neurosurgical cases)
-
Cranial cases available for those interested, but not required
-
Mix of elective and acute cases with consistent volume
Team Size?
-
Joining an existing neurosurgery presence
-
Program is actively growing to support demand and improve call
-
Collaborative environment — not a solo practice
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
-
Top-tier compensation in a lower-cost market
-
Flexibility in clinical focus (spine-heavy with optional cranial)
-
Immediate volume with room to grow
-
Strong hospital alignment without academic pressure
-
Opportunity to help shape the future of the service line
Practice Snapshot
-
Hospital-based neurosurgery program
-
Modern ORs and imaging support
-
Strong trauma and emergency support
-
Collaborative relationships with orthopedics, neurology, and hospitalists
-
Infrastructure in place to support efficiency and growth
Who This Is Ideal For
-
Neurosurgeons seeking high income without coastal burnout
-
Spine-focused surgeons open to occasional cranial work
-
Physicians who want clarity in pay and expectations
-
Surgeons looking for a long-term practice home, not a stopgap
The Bottom Line
This is a high-reward Neurosurgery role offering:
-
$800K–$900K+ compensation
-
Spine-focused practice with optional cranial work
-
Sustainable call
-
Growing team and strong institutional support
-
A real opportunity to build something long term
If you want a neurosurgery role that pays like a metro job but lives like a lifestyle job, this one delivers.
