About the Opportunity At Georgia Bone & Joint, we are a leader in orthopedic medical care with growing practices around south Atlanta. We are looking for a licensed Physical Therapist to join our dynamic, collaborative team in Fayetteville, GA.

  • Streamlined Documentation: We leverage Prompt EMR and AI Sidekick so you have more time to focus on patient care instead of documentation.
