Achilles Foot and Ankle Center is seeking a motivated, patient-focused Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) to join our established and growing practice in the Richmond, Virginia metropolitan area.
This is a full-time, primarily office-based podiatry position designed for a physician who wants more than a traditional associate job.
For the right physician, we offer a long-term career opportunity that combines a competitive guaranteed salary, uncapped production incentives, clinical autonomy, an established patient base, and a defined pathway toward partnership and ownership of the practice.
We welcome applications from both experienced podiatrists and graduating residents.
Our goal is to recruit a physician who can ultimately become an important part of the future of Achilles Foot and Ankle Center.
- $160,000-$210,000 guaranteed base salary
- Uncapped production-based bonus
- Defined pathway toward partnership and practice ownership
- Opportunity to purchase up to 30% ownership of the practice over 15 years
- Established patient volume
- Two established Richmond-area clinical locations
- Primarily office-based practice
- Clinical autonomy
- Dedicated medical assistant and clinical support
- Administrative, scheduling, billing, and operational support
- Predictable Monday-Friday schedule
- No hospital call requirement associated with this position
- Opportunity to build a long-term patient base and career within an established practice
- Ownership opportunities are subject to continued employment, performance, mutual fit, fair-market-value purchase requirements, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Base Salary: $160,000-$210,000 per year
Starting salary will be based on experience, qualifications, and clinical background.
In addition to guaranteed base compensation, the physician will be eligible for an uncapped tiered production bonusafter reaching an annual production threshold equal to 1.5 times earned base salary.
The incentive structure rewards increasing levels of productivity, with bonus percentages increasing for higher levels of eligible collections.
For example, using a $180,000 base salary, total annual physician compensation could reach approximately:
$262,000 at $800,000 in eligible collections
$302,000 at $1,000,000 in eligible collections
$352,000 at $1,200,000 in eligible collections
$427,000 at $1,500,000 in eligible collections
There is no stated maximum production bonus.
Complete production thresholds, eligible collections, calculation methodology, and bonus terms are defined in the employment agreement.
We believe physicians who help build a successful practice should have an opportunity to participate in its long-term value.
The successful associate will have a defined pathway toward purchasing an ownership interest in Achilles Foot and Ankle Center.
After an initial qualification period, the physician may become eligible to purchase incremental ownership interests at fair market value, ultimately reaching up to 30% practice ownership over a 15-year pathway.
Ownership eligibility is based on factors including continued employment, professional performance, compliance, licensure, good standing, mutual fit, and applicable legal requirements.
