Ortho and Spine Physician
About The Position
This position offers the opportunity to join Emory's orthopedic team as part of MGO and ESA in a collaborative, community-based practice. Due to strong patient demand, there is an immediate opportunity to build a busy, high-volume hand practice while expanding access to specialty care in the region. Hand and Upper Extremity Orthopedic Surgeon: Focus on core hand and upper extremity surgical procedures, with an anticipated volume of 500–600 hand procedures annually and significant growth potential. You'll perform a broad range of procedures, including tendon and nerve repair, fracture fixation, carpal and cubital tunnel release, trigger finger release, thumb CMC arthroplasty, wrist arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, deformity correction, and selected shoulder and elbow procedures. Spine Surgeon: Focus primarily on core spine surgical procedures with an anticipated surgical volume of 300–400 spine procedures annually and significant opportunity for continued growth. You'll treat a broad range of degenerative, traumatic, and elective spine conditions while building a thriving referral base. More complex tertiary and quaternary cases will continue to be referred to Emory in Atlanta, allowing you to focus on developing a strong community-based spine practice. As part of the orthopedic team, there may also be some general orthopedic call and coverage responsibilities, with the balance of spine and general orthopedics evolving as the practice continues to grow.
