Breast Surgeon

Breast Surgeon – Community-Focused Practice

The Breast Center | Valley View Hospital Glenwood Springs, Colorado | Serving the Western Slope

Valley View Hospital is seeking a Breast Surgeon to join our established Breast Center program serving patients across Colorado's Western Slope — all while living in majestic Glenwood Springs, nestled between Aspen and Vail, where others vacation and you get to call home.

This opportunity is ideal for a surgeon who values longitudinal patient relationships, multidisciplinary collaboration, and meaningful community impact within an independent, physician-aligned health system. Here, you can build a rewarding breast surgery practice focused on high-quality care, access, and continuity — without the pressures of a large academic or corporate environment.

The Opportunity

This role offers a balanced and meaningful breast surgery practice, including:

• Surgical management of high-risk breast conditions
• Breast oncologic surgery across disease stages
• Longitudinal care from diagnosis through survivorship
• Close collaboration with medical oncology, radiation oncology, imaging, and navigation
• Participation in shared decision-making within a supportive, team-based environment
• Opportunity to help shape the future growth and direction of breast services across the Western Slope
• The practice is designed to support thoughtful scheduling, strong care coordination, and sustainable work-life balance while maintaining clinical excellence.

Integrated Multidisciplinary Breast Care

The Breast Center operates within a Commission on Cancer (CoC)–accredited cancer program and is fully integrated with the Calaway-Young Cancer Center. Care is delivered through a coordinated, multidisciplinary model that includes breast imaging, medical oncology, radiation oncology, genetics, nurse navigation, survivorship, and supportive services.

The program also includes in-house plastic and reconstructive surgery, allowing seamless coordination of combined breast oncologic and reconstructive cases. Breast surgeons participate in a general tumor board, reinforcing evidence-based care and shared clinical decision-making.

• Independent, community-governed hospital with strong physician leadership
• Established Breast Center with committed infrastructure and support
• Broad regional referral base serving rural and mountain communities
• Ability to practice full-scope breast surgery in a collaborative environment
• Competitive compensation with productivity opportunity and comprehensive benefits
