Physician Assistant - Dr. Ayoosh Pareek

Full-Time Physician Assistant, Dr. Ayoosh Pareek (New York and New Jersey)

Hospital for Special Surgery, ranked #1 in Orthopedics for the past 16 years, is seeking a full-time Physician Assistant to work directly with Dr. Ayoosh Pareek, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip, knee, and shoulder surgery with a focus on sports medicine and joint preservation.

This is a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing, high-volume orthopedic practice, and play a foundational role in its development. The PA will work across both clinic and operating room settings in a dynamic, multi-site practice spanning Manhattan and Northern New Jersey.

The Physician Assistant will serve as the primary clinical partner, supporting outpatient care, perioperative management, and surgical first assist. This role offers progressive autonomy, with the expectation of developing the ability to independently manage clinical workflows and eventually lead independent clinic sessions.

Responsibilities include evaluating patients in clinic, counseling patients and families on treatment plans, supporting pre- and post-operative care, and serving as first assist in the operating room. The PA will also play a key role in patient communication and care coordination, working closely with office staff and clinical teams to deliver high-quality care.

There are no weekend shifts or overnight call, with the exception of occasional weekend patient phone calls.

Ideal for a motivated PA seeking a high-impact, career-building role within a growing orthopedic practice. Previous experience in orthopedics is a plus, though not required.

Key Responsibilities:

• Evaluate and manage patients in clinic (new and follow-up)
• Assist in surgical procedures as first assist
• Perform in-office procedures, including injections (with opportunity to learn ultrasound-guided techniques)
• Support pre- and post-operative care, including patient counseling and coordination
• Review imaging with progression toward independent interpretation
• Assist with documentation, prior authorizations, and patient communication

Practice Structure:

• Multi-site practice: Upper East Side (Manhattan) and Paramus/Mahwah (NJ)
• 5 days/week, no in-house call; limited weekend patient calls
• Reliable transportation required

Qualifications:

Graduation from an accredited PA program, eligible for or currently licensed in New York and New Jersey, BLS/ACLS certification and NCCPA board certification are required.

Also, the candidate must have a current Infection Control Certification and have completed a child abuse recognition course. The PA must have excellent communication skills and be a team player.

Surgical experience or training is preferred.

Previous experience in orthopedics is highly desired but not required.
