FULL-TIME PLASTIC SURGEON OPPORTUNITIES

Openings in Northern California

 

·         Oakland: Seeking a BC/BE Plastic Surgeon to perform a high volume of breast reduction, breast reconstruction, and transgender top surgery, as well as a significant volume of general and complex reconstructive surgery referred by our surgical colleagues. Mostly breast, ortho trauma (no hand), chest wall recon, sarcoma, and various general reconstructive problems. We also have a developing cosmetic practice (mostly breast and body). We have multiple fellowship trained microsurgeons, and a candidate must feel comfortable rounding/taking call/evaluating free flaps but would not be expected to perform microsurgery (unless fellowship trained). If micro trained, we perform mostly breast free flaps, but also some extremity trauma and all over the body (not head and neck) oncologic extirpation recon. 

·         Stockton: Microsurgery and/or transgender (tops) skills would be ideal.

·         Walnut Creek: We provide reconstructive plastic surgery services for the entire Diablo Service Area with routine scheduled OR blocks in Walnut Creek and Dublin. Most of our work involves breast (and other) cancer reconstruction, skin cancer treatment and reconstruction, transgender top surgery, complications from cosmetic surgery, and general reconstruction. We are expanding our microvascular breast program and would benefit from expertise with complex lower extremity and groin/pelvic reconstruction including microvascular coverage procedures. A micro fellowship with interest and experience in these areas will be very beneficial. There are opportunities for research and leadership providing clinical care responsibilities are fully utilized.
