Orthopedic Surgeon Opportunity
New York Bariatric Group (NYBG), the largest bariatric practice in the country, is expanding its clinical platform by launching a new orthopedic service line. With a high volume of cross-referrals, a robust tristate ASC network, and a powerful direct-to-consumer marketing engine, NYBG offers a unique opportunity for a motivated, entrepreneurial orthopedic surgeon to build and lead this new initiative.
In addition, NYBG has exclusive direct-to-employer relationships through which self-insured employers refer bariatric patients directly to our practices and ASCs across the region. We believe there is a significant opportunity to extend these partnerships to orthopedic procedures, especially total joint replacements. This position offers a rare chance to join a high-growth platform and help shape a new clinical vertical from the ground up.
