Orthopedic Spine Surgeon (Oak Brook, IL)

Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine•Oak Brook, IL

16h•Onsite

About The Position

Genesis was built as the antidote to the challenges often faced in spine surgery, such as insurance fights, OR access issues, and referral pipelines with misaligned incentives. We are a full-spectrum MSK platform with 16 clinics across Chicagoland, offering services from surgery through physical therapy, and serving patients from Medicaid to private pay. Our spine patient population is high-volume, underserved, and seeking comprehensive care. Genesis was founded on the principle that surgery is a last resort, not a revenue strategy. You will have the clinical infrastructure to prioritize conservative care, including physical therapy, injections, imaging, and pain management, and sufficient surgical volume for cases that truly require it. From day one, you will have a full caseload, supported by 1-3 APPs, and a partnership-track role with significant equity potential for surgeons committed to building the practice.

Ability to think in systems and understand the coordination required for spine patients (imaging, PT, pain management, surgical planning, post-op rehab).
