Job description

Physician Assistant - Rheumatology

Valley Arthritis Care | West Valley Area, Arizona

Full-Time or Part-Time Available

Valley Arthritis Care is looking for a Physician Assistant to join our established rheumatology practice.

We are an independent, physician-owned private practice - not a large hospital system, private-equity rollup, or corporate medical group. That means less bureaucracy, more direct communication, and a team that can actually make decisions without going through five layers of management.

If you're looking for great compensation, a supportive team, long-term stability, and a practice where you can focus on taking care of patients, we'd love to meet you.

Why Join Valley Arthritis Care?

• Excellent compensation + Monthly Bonus
• Full-time or part-time opportunities
• Comprehensive benefits available for full-time employees
• Established, respected rheumatology practice
• Physician-owned and independently operated
• No corporate bureaucracy
• Supportive physicians, providers, and clinical team
• Stable patient base and strong referral network
• In-office infusion services and comprehensive rheumatology care
• Opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients
• Collaborative environment where your input matters

The Position

The Physician Assistant will work alongside our rheumatologists and clinical team to evaluate, diagnose, treat, and manage patients with a broad range of rheumatologic and autoimmune conditions.

• Evaluating new and established rheumatology patients
• Developing and managing treatment plans in collaboration with physicians

About Valley Arthritis Care

Valley Arthritis Care has been serving patients in the Phoenix metropolitan area for more than 25 years. Our practice provides comprehensive rheumatology care, including physician and advanced practice provider visits, diagnostic services, injections, and in-office infusion therapy.

We're large enough to provide the resources and support of an established medical practice, but still small enough that people know each other, decisions get made, and good work gets noticed.

If you're tired of corporate medicine and want to practice in an independent environment where patient care comes first, we want to hear from you.
