This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned surgeon looking to further develop their expertise in a supportive and dynamic practice setting or a new fellowship graduate to begin their colorectal practice. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team committed to delivering exceptional patient care and outcomes.
