From the recruiter
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.
