Job description

Orthopedic Surgeon (General)

Hudson Valley, NY | Hospital-Employed | Strong Volume + Lifestyle Balance

A community-focused healthcare system in the Hudson Valley region of New York is actively recruiting a General Orthopedic Surgeon to join its established Bone & Joint team. This opportunity is driven by an upcoming retirement, creating a built-in patient base and immediate surgical demand for an incoming provider.

This is an ideal role for a surgeon seeking a busy, bread-and-butter orthopedic practice with the ability to step into an existing referral network while maintaining a strong work-life balance in a highly desirable region.

Position Overview:

• Job Title: General Orthopedic Surgeon
• Employment Type: Full-time, employed
• Practice Setting: Hospital-employed with outpatient clinic support
• Location: Hudson Valley, NY
• Call Schedule: Shared, light-to-moderate

Opportunity Highlights:

• Turnkey Practice: Step into an established patient panel due to a retiring surgeon
• Consistent Surgical Volume: Mix of elective and acute cases from a strong referral base
• Broad Scope: Bread-and-butter general orthopedics including:
  • Joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder preferred but not required)
  • Fracture care and orthopedic trauma
  • Sports injuries and degenerative conditions
• OR Access: Dedicated block time and efficient surgical support
• Collaborative Team: Work alongside experienced orthopedists and APP support
• Tertiary Backup: Access to subspecialty support for complex cases

Responsibilities:

• Diagnose and treat a wide range of orthopedic conditions
• Perform surgical and non-surgical interventions
• Participate in shared call coverage
• Collaborate with primary care, ED, and rehab teams
• Maintain high-quality, patient-centered care standards

Qualifications:

• MD or DO
• Board-Certified / Board-Eligible in Orthopedic Surgery
• Eligible for New York State medical license
• Strong interest in general orthopedics and community-based practice

Compensation & Benefits:

• $480,000 – $650,000 base salary + production incentives
• Full benefits package (health, dental, vision, malpractice, retirement)
• CME allowance + time off
• Relocation assistance available

Lifestyle & Location:

Located in the Hudson Valley, this area offers:

• Access to outdoor recreation (hiking, skiing, boating)
• A vibrant arts and culinary scene
• Affordable living compared to metro markets
• Easy access to Albany, NYC, and the Berkshires

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

This is not a slow ramp-up role. With a pending retirement, the incoming surgeon will walk into immediate demand, strong referral patterns, and the ability to build a high-volume practice quickly—all within a supportive, well-run system that prioritizes both clinical quality and physician lifestyle.
