Job description

Employer: Cary S. Gunther, MD PhD PLLC

Location: 955 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10021

Job Type: Part-time, with an opportunity to grow into full-time. A flexible schedule built around low patient volume and generous time for appointments.

Work Setting: Structured in-person, outpatient schedule. No hospital call.

Practice Overview & Philosophy

Cary S. Gunther, MD, PhD, PLLC is an independent boutique practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan dedicated to unhurried, deeply personalized care for individuals with neurocognitive disorders. Dr. Gunther is triple board-certified in neurology, psychiatry and brain injury medicine.

This practice operates outside the constraints of corporate, insurance-driven, high-volume medicine and provides evidence-based treatment for complex cognitive, mood and behavioral conditions. This is a cash pay practice, and we do not bill insurance. We believe that exceptional care requires generous visit times and genuine partnership with patients and their families.

Position Overview

Patients living with cognitive decline have unique needs that transcend the bounds of neurology and psychiatry and are not met by the assembly-line approach that managed care attempts to dictate. We are seeking a nurse practitioner with experience in geriatrics to collaborate with Dr. Gunther in addressing these distinctive challenges.

Clinical Responsibilities

• Longitudinal Disease & Symptom Monitoring: Track management plans for patients navigating Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, behavioral disturbances and complex medical comorbidities.
• Home Safety Visits: Conduct assessments of medication management, falls risk and other aspects of safety in patient homes.

• Care Collaboration: Work in a collegial, thoughtful environment to discuss management strategies and challenging cases.

• Transit: Conveniently located near the 6 train (68th Street Station), Q train (72nd Street Station) and local bus routes (M98, M101, M102, M103 and M66).

Compensation

• Starting at two 8-hour days, with opportunities for growth.

Education
