Job description

A Founding Role in St. Louis Oral Surgery

Have you reached a point in your career where you're ready to lead, and not just practice? Many surgeons find that after a few years in, the desire for ownership begins to outweigh the comfort of a familiar path.

If you're ready to build a practice that reflects your own standards and vision-we'd love to talk.

We are seeking a Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon to lead a brand-new oral surgery center opening in St. Louis, Missouri. This is a chance to become a founding surgeon without the capital risk or operational burden of going it alone.

You'll set the clinical tone, build the referral network, and shape the culture from day one, with a seasoned platform behind you to handle everything that pulls most surgeons away from patient care.

What This Opportunity Offers

• Immediate equity partnership with $0 buy-in

• $500,000+ guaranteed base salary with collections-based upside

• Substantial transition incentive

• Relocation assistance and continuing education stipend

• Full operational, marketing, and administrative support

• Advanced digital workflows and implant-focused technology

• Experienced clinical and surgical support team

• Mentorship from accomplished surgeon partners

• The autonomy to shape your practice your way

Who This Opportunity Is Designed For

• Board-Certified or Board-Eligible in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

• Eligible for licensure in Missouri

• Ideally 1-5 years into practice and ready for greater ownership

• Entrepreneurial mindset with leadership ambition

• Strong communicator who enjoys referral-building

• Committed to clinical excellence and building something lasting

Why St. Louis

St. Louis is one of the most underrated cities in the country for professionals looking to put down roots. It offers big-city amenities at a fraction of the cost, with a thriving healthcare sector, a strong startup and bioscience scene, and a cost of living that lets your income go significantly further than it would on either coast.

Outside of work, you'll find world-class museums, the Saint Louis Zoo, and a buzzing food scene with everything from neighborhood institutions to award-winning fine dining. Forest Park anchors the heart of the city with green space, cultural landmarks, and room to roam. Weekends open up to Cardinals baseball, charming river towns, and easy access to the Ozarks for anyone who likes to get outdoors.
