Colorectal surgeon

Emerald Resource Group • White Plains, NY

About The Position

Patients facing complex colorectal disease need a surgeon who turns an uncertain diagnosis into a clear plan, a safe operation, and a recovery they can live with. In this role you will own care for colon, rectal, and anal conditions—from cancer and inflammatory bowel disease to pelvic floor and anorectal disorders—and be accountable for survival, function, and trust. Your judgment will define how this service operates, grows, and is measured.

Requirements

• MD or DO, an accredited general surgery residency, and a colorectal surgery fellowship.
• Board certification or active eligibility in colon and rectal surgery, plus an unrestricted license or eligibility in the practice state.
• Independent experience across open, laparoscopic, and robotic colorectal procedures.
• A record of tumor-board participation and guideline-concordant cancer care with reviewed outcomes.
• Ability to secure privileges and meet call, credentialing, and documentation standards.

Responsibilities

• Establish a reliable colorectal practice that meets agreed access, volume, and quality targets within the first year.
• Deliver evidence-based care for colorectal cancer, IBD, and benign anorectal disease, with complications, leaks, and readmissions at or better than national benchmarks.
• Complete cancer cases on pathway timelines and improve sphincter preservation and stoma-free outcomes where clinically appropriate.
• Lead multidisciplinary planning with gastroenterology, oncology, radiology, and pathology so every complex case has a documented shared plan.
• Shorten length of stay and reduce unplanned returns to the operating room by standardizing enhanced-recovery pathways.
• Coach residents, advanced practice providers, and operating-room teams so readiness, documentation, and handoffs meet service standards.
• Grow appropriate referrals and patient-experience scores while reporting outcomes openly.
