Job Description:
A full-scope OMS group with an established patient base, strong
referring relationships, and a proven operational backbone is
opening a new location in the greater Seattle area in approximately
three months. We're looking for a determined oral and maxillofacial
surgeon to anchor and lead it. This is a site leadership role — not
a fill-in associate position. If you want clinical autonomy,
compensation tied to your own performance, and the opportunity to
shape a practice from the ground up without the personal financial
exposure of a cold start, read on. The Role You will be the primary
surgeon at a new location, supported by the infrastructure,
referral pipeline, and operational systems of an established group.
The position ramps with the site: starting at 1–2 days per week and
building to 4 days per week as volume grows, with a target of
full-time occupancy over time. The ramp is structured and supported
— not left to chance. At launch, the office will participate with
PPO, HMO, and Medicaid, providing broad access and a strong volume
foundation from day one. Payor mix is adjustable over time as
demand and case mix develop. Compensation is collections-based,
calibrated to experience, with owner-level earning potential tied
directly to site performance. This is intentional — we want our
surgeon aligned with the long-term success of the location, not
just compensated for showing up. Clinical Scope This is genuinely
full-scope. Dentoalveolar, implants, pathology, trauma,
orthognathic, and anesthesia. We are not looking for a single-focus
associate. We are looking for a surgeon who practices the breadth
of the specialty and wants the clinical environment to reflect
that. You will have meaningful input into: - Workflow and operatory
protocols - Case mix and referral development strategy - Staffing
recommendations and clinical structure - Payor participation
decisions as the site matures Established systems and experienced
oversight are available when useful. They are not imposed.
Infrastructure & Support Starting a new location is hard. We have
handled the parts that aren't surgery: - Staffing: Support staff
provided; hiring and training assistance for site-specific needs -
Credentialing: Full payor credentialing support across all
participating plans - Billing & Revenue Cycle: Complete in-house
billing and collections management - Compliance: Regulatory
infrastructure already in place — OSHA, HIPAA, and DEA compliance
covered - Facility & Equipment: Fully equipped operatories, ready
on day one - Patient Flow: Parent office actively supports early
volume, overflow emergencies, and warm referral transfers during
ramp-up - Referral Network: You inherit established relationships
with referring dentists and specialists — built over years,
available to you immediately You focus on surgery and growth. We
handle the rest. The Market Greater Seattle is a high-demand,
undersupplied market for oral surgery. General dentists in this
region are actively looking for OMS partners they can trust and
refer to consistently. The infrastructure is in place. The market
timing is right. What this location needs now is the right surgeon.
Who We're Looking For - DMD or DDS with completed OMS residency -
Board certified or board eligible - Full-scope clinical experience
— comfortable across dentoalveolar, implants, pathology, and trauma
- Washington state license held or obtainable prior to start -
Current DEA registration or obtainable - MD and/or FACS a plus, not
a requirement - Collegial, referral-minded — you understand that
relationships drive a surgical practice - Entrepreneurial in
orientation — you see a new location as opportunity, not
uncertainty Group or multi-site experience is helpful but not
required. Residents completing training who are ready to step into
a leadership role are encouraged to apply. Compensation & Benefits
- Collections-based percentage — commensurate with experience -
Owner-level earning potential tied to site growth and performance -
Structured ramp-up to support early-stage volume - Malpractice
coverage provided - Credentialing and licensing assistance - Paid
time off - CME allowance - Equity or partnership discussion
possible as site matures, based on performance and mutual fit To
Apply Submit your CV and a brief note about what draws you to this
type of opportunity. All inquiries handled promptly and
confidentially. We are serious about this search and will respond
in kind. We are building something here. We'd like to find the
surgeon who wants to build it with us.
