Job Description

General Orthopedic Physician Opportunity - Deaconess Clinic

Henderson, KY location

Build a high-volume practice quickly with strong referral support, dedicated OR access, and a clear path to exceeding $1M+ income.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Immediate Volume: Step into an established referral network with strong demand across a large regional service area
  • Established Walk-In Clinic staffed by experienced advanced practice providers - new patient opportunities.
  • Efficient Practice Model: Integrated system with Epic across inpatient and outpatient settings
  • Balanced Schedule: Mix of clinic, OR, and manageable call.
  • Support to Grow: Access to rehab, urgent ortho care, and primary care feeders.
  • Dedicated OR block time at very close acute care hospital.
  • Opportunity to participate in partially physician-owned ambulatory surgery center.
  • Consistent APP support with entire practice, outpatient and inpatient
  • Partner hospital is very experienced in orthopedic care and surgery techniques.
  • Supported by Orthopedic Traumatologists

Practice Overview

  • General Orthopedics (1.0 FTE)
  • Clinic + Surgical Practice + APP Support
  • Call: 1:4
  • Inpatient Coverage: ~7 days/month
  • Opportunity to ramp up quickly.

What Your Day Looks Like

  • Outpatient clinic with consistent referral flow
  • Surgical cases supported by hospital infrastructure and care coordination teams.
  • Collaboration with primary care and rehab services to maintain continuity of care.
  • 5-10 cases per week average (annual average ortho does 350 cases per year)
  • Call coverage supported by APPs as physician wishes.

Compensation

  • $800,000 guaranteed (Year 1) + productivity opportunity
  • Many physicians exceed initial guarantee based on volume.
  • Productivity model after Year 1 with additional quality incentives
  • Earning potential exceeding $1M

Additional Incentives

  • $50,000 sign-on bonus (5-year agreement)
  • Up to $15,000 relocation
  • Full benefits package including 401(k) and 457(b).
  • Malpractice with tail coverage
  • 5 weeks PTO + 1 week CME

Why Physicians Choose This Market

  • Large regional draw area across Southern Indiana, Western Kentucky, and Southern Illinois
  • Level II Trauma Center referrals.
  • Ability to build a busy, financially rewarding practice quickly.
  • Lower cost of living with access to a metro area (Evansville)

Location

Henderson, KY - 10 minutes from Evansville, IN

  • Regional population ~300K+
  • Easy access to Nashville, Louisville, and St. Louis
