Job Description:
Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center and Piedmont Physicians
are recruiting a General Neurosurgeon to join our team of top-notch
surgeons who lead the community in providing patient-centered
neurosurgical services. Practice volumes are high and continue to
grow attracting patients from the 18 surrounding counties in the
greater Athens area and further out. Surgical volumes are currently
more than 400 cases per surgeon per year with a wide variety of
conditions, including degenerative spine and adult deformity,
peripheral nerve pathology, cranial and spinal oncology and trauma.
This is a great opportunity to work with a team dedicated to
quality, patient satisfaction, innovation and maintaining a
practice culture of support and caring and are ready to support you
in building a practice from day one. Piedmont Athens is a part of
the largest healthcare system in Georgia, providing an extensive
primary care referral network through Piedmont Clinic, and an
outstanding group of subspecialists to support advanced
neurosurgical care. The hospital is a 427-bed facility dedicated to
providing the best care for Northeast Georgia, recently expanding
with a new tower including new dedicated ICU space. The radiology
department is staffed with 8 Neuroradiologists who provide
subspecialty support 24/7. The hospital is an ACS certified level
II trauma center, with a dedicated trauma surgery service.
Neurohospitalists provide inpatient neurology support, and our
hospitalist and intensivist teams provide admission and consult
service. We have a dedicated neuro floor with experienced staff,
including physical therapy and social work on the unit. Hospital
surgical facilities include 4 1.5 Tesla MRIs, 6 CTs, Stealth
imaging system for navigation, 2 O-arms and 3 surgical microscopes.
We operate on a block system in the O.R., and our new surgeon will
have dedicated block time on arrival. Call is very reasonable, with
practice call covered by Neurosurgical APPs and shared among
Piedmont Neurosurgery partners. Trauma call is shared with another
local group, with 1/8 call responsibility with the arrival of
another Neurosurgeon. There is no pediatric call or neurovascular
call. Our physicians are affiliated with the University of Georgia
sports medicine department, providing care to athletes and involved
in developing management protocols for athletics. They also have
faculty appointments at the UGA/MCG medical school here in Athens,
providing the opportunity for research and/or teaching if desired.
Athens is a medium sized community, close to Atlanta (50 miles) to
allow for plenty of access to cultural, sports and travel, but
small enough to enjoy a small-town feel. School systems are
regularly recognized as top in the state. Our music heritage is
unparalleled, a community that has nurtured the likes of REM, the
B-52s, Widespread Panic and the Drive-By Truckers. If you feel the
need for beach time, we are a 4-hour drive or less to the coast,
and a 2-hour drive to the mountains. Practice the most advanced
neurosurgery in a supportive, collegial environment, in a community
where you can raise a family, eat well, enjoy the outside, listen
to great music and love your neighbors.
