Dallas' number 1 spine surgeon for 7 years running needs a physician assistant. He covers two different hospitals on different days of the week, so no back and forth covering different hospitals during the day. This spine surgeon practices minimally invasive procedures and has a conservative approach to medicine. He is very meticulous in his data keeping and participates in studies and research trials. He is one of Medtronic's customers. We are looking for a physician assistant who carries themselves in a very professional manner and cares about the patient as a whole.

The clinic pays 100% of your health care premiums and contributes to your 401k even if you don't! You will be doing follow-ups on the patients as the first visit is with a PM&R physician. All clients are PPO, so the practice is thriving. Great place to work, and a great staff to work with. For more information please call Tommy @ 888.812.3452 x714 or email thomas@aprx.net.
