Job Description

Why Join Us

MetroWest Medical Center has been a trusted cornerstone of community healthcare for more than a century, and today it remains one of the most physician-focused health systems in the region.

You'll join a well-established general surgery practice equipped with a da Vinci Xi robot, 10 ORs, and the infrastructure to support a high-performing surgeon from day one.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a mature practice with genuine autonomy — build the patient base and case mix you want, without starting from scratch. If work-life balance matters to you as much as surgical excellence, this group has built a culture around both.

Position Highlights

  • Full-scope general surgery with bread-and-butter case volume
  • Access to da Vinci Xi robotic platform and 10 operating rooms
  • ASC call only — no hospital call burden
  • Breast surgery opportunity available
  • Autonomy to grow and shape your own practice and patient base
  • Experienced, well-established group — hit the ground running
  • Physician-focused organization with strong administrative support

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation commensurate with experience ($169k - $682k)
  • Malpractice insurance provided
  • Health, dental, and life insurance
  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Deferred compensation program
  • Relocation assistance

Candidate Requirements

  • Board certified in General Surgery
  • Robotic and laparoscopic surgery experience required
  • Experienced/seasoned surgeon preferred
