Oral Surgeon

About Our Client

Our client is a surgeon-led, private equity-backed oral and maxillofacial surgery platform with more than 75 years of history caring for Michigan communities. Built by surgeons for surgeons: the founding surgeons hold equity and sit on the platform board, and long-standing general dentist referral relationships anchor every community served. The practice delivers the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery—dental implants, full-arch restoration, extractions, bone grafting, and sedation/anesthesia—supported by centralized infrastructure, provider scorecards, and practice playbooks that let surgeons focus on patient care.

Having nearly doubled in size in under a year, the client is building a leading specialist-led platform in a large, highly fragmented specialty profession.

About the Role

This is an opportunity to join an established, high-volume oral surgery practice as it scales into a regional platform. We are adding a surgeon to meet excess patient demand across the Great Lakes Bay Region, serving patients in Saginaw, Bay City, and Midland. The Tri-Cities combine an affordable cost of living and short commutes with easy access to Saginaw Bay and the Lake Huron shoreline. Each city brings its own character—Midland’s arts and science institutions, Saginaw’s riverfront, and Bay City’s historic downtown and marinas—with MBS International Airport centrally located between all three.

You will practice full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery in a rotational, multi-site model, with surgical procedures in the morning and consults in the afternoon. Our surgeons average more than $3M in annual collections—roughly double the industry average—with no production cap, supported by staff and operational playbooks built to make the surgeon’s day run smoothly. Beyond your own practice, you will help shape the platform: strengthening referral relationships in the communities you serve, expanding higher-value services such as implants and full-arch restoration, and contributing to a surgeon-led culture that preserves clinical autonomy, with a clear path to leadership and ownership as the organization grows.
