Job Description

Foot & Ankle Specialist Fellowship-Trained | Independent Physician-Owned Group | Utah County, Utah

The Opportunity Founding foot and ankle surgeon within a new orthopedic section at Utah's largest independent, physician-owned multispecialty group. Foot and ankle is the fastest-growing orthopedic sub-specialty. Utah County is underserved, and the patient demographic — young, active, outdoor-oriented — generates elevated per-capita volume. Built-in surgical referrals from within the section and five urgent care locations from Day 1.

Compensation is designed to accelerate well beyond the Year 1 guarantee. A 12-month partnership track unlocks ancillary income streams, ownership participation, and uncapped production — substantially increasing total compensation at partnership.

Clinical Scope

• Forefoot reconstruction, total ankle replacement, ankle arthroscopy
• Flatfoot reconstruction, Achilles pathology, cavovarus correction
• Acute trauma — ankle fractures, Lisfranc injuries, calcaneus fractures
• Internal referrals from the section's generalist and sports medicine physicians

Qualifications

• MD/DO — BC/BE Orthopedic Surgery
• Fellowship in foot and ankle surgery
• Total ankle replacement experience preferred (any platform)
• Early-career surgeons (1–5 years post-fellowship) encouraged to apply

Compensation

• $625,000+ Year 1 guaranteed floor
• 12-month partnership track — ancillary income and ownership participation at partner
• Uncapped production above threshold — no ceiling on earnings
• Employer-paid malpractice with prior acts coverage included
• Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, CME, retirement, relocation

Differentiators

• Physician-owned — not a health system, not private equity
• Underserved foot and ankle market with high-demand patient demographic
• Built-in referral pipeline from 200+ PCPs, five urgent care locations, and section colleagues
• Four owned imaging centers for pre-op planning
• Prior acts (tail) coverage provided as a recruiting benefit
