Job description

Lakeside Orthopedic Institute | Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Lakeside Orthopedic Institute is expanding and seeking a high-performing Orthopedic Physician Assistant to join our established surgical team in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

The incoming provider will function as a true clinical and surgical partner, working directly alongside multiple orthopedic surgeons in a mature, efficient practice with strong patient demand and consistent surgical volume.

Opportunities combining operative exposure, procedural autonomy, and long-term practice stability are increasingly rare — particularly within a collaborative private-practice environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Direct daily collaboration with experienced orthopedic surgeons
• Balanced mix of clinic, procedures, and surgery
• Established workflows and strong clinical support staff
• High-functioning team culture focused on efficiency and outcomes
• Practice stability with continued regional growth

You will step into an already thriving orthopedic service line — allowing you to focus on practicing medicine rather than building volume.

Role Responsibilities

• Evaluate and manage orthopedic patients across the continuum of care
• Perform joint injections and in-office procedures
• Pre-operative and post-operative management
• Coordinate care plans with surgeons and clinical staff
• Performance-based bonus opportunity
• Employer pays 80% of medical, dental & vision premiums
• Up to 4% 401(k) employer match
• 2 weeks PTO + 1 week sick leave
• 7 paid holidays annually

Compensation structure designed for long-term retention and professional growth.

Who Will Thrive Here

The ideal candidate is:

• Confident and clinically decisive
• Comfortable in a fast-paced surgical environment
• Team-oriented with strong professional presence
• Motivated by hands-on orthopedic practice and patient outcomes
• Orthopedic or surgical experience preferred

This role is best suited for a PA seeking professional ownership of their role and a practice where their contribution is highly valued.

Lifestyle Advantage — Practice Where Others Vacation

Lake Havasu City offers a unique combination of professional opportunity and lifestyle balance:

• 300+ days of sunshine annually
• Boating, water sports, hiking, and outdoor recreation are minutes away
• Lower cost of living with exceptional quality of life

Experienced candidates are invited to explore a long-term opportunity within one of the region’s established orthopedic practices.
