Hand & Upper Extremity Surgeon - Fellowship-Trained Inherited Practice 12-Month Partnership Utah County, Utah
The Opportunity
Step into a built practice. A retiring hand surgeon leaves behind an established panel, proven volume, and a referral engine already running. You are not starting from zero. You are walking into Day-1 cases, Day-1 clinic, and Day-1 income inside Utah's largest independent, physician-owned multispecialty group.
Utah County is one of the fastest-growing, youngest, most active markets in the country. Hand and upper-extremity demand is high and underserved. Internal referrals from the orthopedic section, 200+ PCPs, and five urgent cares start immediately.
Year-1 guarantee is the floor. Partnership at 12 months is the accelerator - ancillary income, ownership, and uncapped production. Total compensation is designed to jump hard once you are a partner. There is no earnings ceiling.
Clinical Scope
- High-volume elective hand and wrist: carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, trigger finger, Dupuytren's, CMC arthroplasty, wrist arthroscopy
- Trauma: distal radius, scaphoid, metacarpals, phalanges, tendon and nerve repair
- Arthritis reconstruction, ligament work, and complex upper-extremity reconstruction
- Full hand, wrist, and forearm - operative and non-operative
- Built-in referrals from generalists, sports medicine, and the rest of the orthopedic section
Qualifications
- MD/DO - BC/BE Orthopedic Surgery
