General Orthopedic Surgery Opportunity
Deaconess Clinic – Henderson, KY

Build a high-volume practice quickly with strong referral support, dedicated OR access, and a clear path to exceeding $1M+ income.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Immediate Volume: Step into an established referral network with strong demand across a large regional service area
• Established Walk-In Clinic staffed by experienced advanced practice providers – new patient opportunities.
• Efficient Practice Model: Integrated system with Epic across inpatient and outpatient settings
• Balanced Schedule: Mix of clinic, OR, and manageable call.
• Support to Grow: Access to rehab, urgent ortho care, and primary care feeders.
• Dedicated OR block time at very close acute care hospital.
• Opportunity to participate in partially physician-owned ambulatory surgery center.
• Consistent APP support with entire practice, outpatient and inpatient
• Partner hospital is very experienced in orthopedic care and surgery techniques.
• Supported by Orthopedic Traumatologists
