Job Description

Direct Primary Care Physician - Amarillo, TX

Job Type: Full-time 

• Full-time equivalent: 600 patient panel

Description

Almost a third of physicians in the United States report feelings of burnout, and almost a third of working Americans currently have some kind of medical debt. This is not okay! We’ve been forced to submit our care plans to insurance companies, and they have dictated much of the medical care that is received. Enough is enough! 

AmarilloMD exists to provide exceptional primary care at practical prices by valuing the patient-doctor relationship above the bottom line and merging virtual care with physical care. We treat our patients as a family instead of policy numbers. If you’re passionate about joining this movement, apply today! 

We give our physicians time and resources to address the whole person. In addition to pharmaceuticals, we teach patients to use natural means such as physician-grade supplements, diet, and exercise to heal themselves. We adequately address the mental health of our patients as well as the physical, with referrals to trauma-informed counselors. We offer our patients wholesale labs and imaging, not restricted by insurance, so there is no limit to what we can explore when needed. We are able to give first-class care to our patients without touching their deductibles. Their insurance is what it should be, a backup plan for something rare and catastrophic.  

We are looking for a physician who wants to build roots in Amarillo and have a medical career they are proud of. We place a high value on clinical experience, cultural fit, and passion for helping others.

What Winning Looks Like:

• Spending quality time with patients instead of rushing them out the door

• Highly organized with attention to detail and follow-through
