Orthopedic Spine Surgeon (Oak Brook, IL)

About The Position

Spine surgery carries more weight than almost anything else in orthopedics. The patients who land in your clinic have often been through years of failed conservative care, multiple opinions, and a healthcare system that either rushed them to the OR or left them waiting indefinitely. They're in pain. They're scared. And the margin for error is about as thin as it gets. Genesis was built as the antidote to all of that. We're a full-spectrum MSK platform – 16 clinics across Chicagoland, surgery through physical therapy, Medicaid to private pay – with a spine patient population that is high-volume, underserved, and waiting for someone who will take the time to treat them correctly. Genesis was founded on the conviction that surgery is a last resort, not a revenue strategy. You'll have the clinical infrastructure to exhaust conservative care first –physical therapy, injections, imaging, pain management – and the surgical volume to back it up when the case actually calls for it. Day one, you'll have a full case load. You'll have 1–3 APPs supporting your practice. And you'll have a partnership-track role with real equity potential for a surgeon who wants to build, not just practice.
