Job description

Overview

Join Kaiser Permanente’s well-established anesthesia teams across Modesto, Manteca, and Stockton Medical Centers in California’s Central Valley. These facilities are part of one of the nation’s leading integrated health systems, known for high-quality, coordinated care and efficient clinical operations.

This 1099 opportunity offers a unique combination of flexibility, autonomy, and consistent case volume across both hospital and ambulatory surgery center (ASC) settings. Physicians benefit from a collaborative care team model, strong perioperative support, and streamlined OR workflows that allow you to focus on patient care—not administrative burden.

Located in Modesto, Manteca, and Stockton, this region offers a balanced California lifestyle with access to major metro areas while maintaining a lower cost of living and less congestion than coastal markets.
