Job description

Oakland/Richmond, California

We are seeking a Plastic Surgeon to join our 6 physician and 1 PA-C practice. We perform a high volume of breast reduction, breast reconstruction, and transgender top surgery, as well as a significant volume of general and complex reconstructive surgery referred by our surgical colleagues. Mostly breast, ortho trauma (no hand), chest wall recon, sarcoma, and various general reconstructive problems. We also have a developing cosmetic practice (mostly breast and body). We have multiple fellowship trained microsurgeons, and a candidate must feel comfortable rounding/taking call/evaluating free flaps but would not be expected to perform microsurgery (unless fellowship trained).

The candidate should be BC or BE and will need a CA medical license. Call will be evenly split among 6 plastic surgeons. Training and comfort level would dictate patient mix for a new hire but would likely be a similar patient mix to what our existing surgeons see. Our East Bay practice covers both the Kaiser Permanente Oakland and Richmond campuses, and we operate and have clinic at both. Candidates typically either operate with each other or our skilled plastic surgery PA. This is a group practice, and collegiality and flexibility are key. We feel the chief benefits of our practice are a pretty wide scope of practice for everyone, freedom from billing or patient recruitment concerns, and particularly the benefits of a close-knit collegial group- we really rely on each other, and any new surgeon has to value that group practice aspect as an important part of their career path. This position will be valued by someone who wishes to develop and practicing a varied set of plastic surgery skills and who wants a friendly supportive group practice rather than a competitive situation. If micro trained, we perform mostly breast free flaps, but also some extremity trauma and all over the body (not head and neck) oncologic extirpation recon.

The East Bay area, home of the flagship Oakland Medical Center and Richmond Medical Center, comprises 12 cities and municipalities within the Alameda County and the western section of Contra Costa County. From Kaiser Permanente’s inception in 1945, the nonprofit organization has led with innovation, beginning with its prepaid health care services offered to Richmond shipyard workers during World War II. Today, the Richmond and Oakland Medical Centers are home to about 700 physicians and 5,600 employees who serve over a quarter of a million members yearly.

Located in the East San Francisco Bay Area, our Oakland & Richmond service areas cover Alameda, Berkeley, Oakland, Pinole, and Richmond. The area offers a unique mix of vibrant urban lifestyle with easy access to nature. Outdoor enthusiasts regularly take advantage of over 100 miles of East Bay trails for hiking, biking, and ultra-running, with nearby Tahoe skiing an easy commute away. Foodies will love the Michelin star restaurants, explosion of craft breweries, lively music and club scene, and nearby Napa wineries.
