Job Description
Planning for Summer 2027? Escape "corporate medicine" before you even start.
At High Rock Internal Medicine, we are looking for a forward-thinking Internal Medicine Attending to join our mission in Summer 2027. While the large hospital systems are focused on quarterly quotas, we are focusing on our long-term legacy. Founded in 2000 by Dr. Stephen Hsieh, our independent practice is a haven for the underserved and the medically complex. Here, you aren't just a provider; you are a future pillar of the community.
Why High Rock? The Independent Advantage
- True Clinical Autonomy: No "red tape." If you see a way to improve patient care, we implement it.
- Mission over Metrics: We specialize in caring for disadvantaged and complex populations. Your success is measured by patient impact, not just RVUs.
- Mentorship & Growth: Transition from residency with confidence. Dr. Hsieh provides weekly 1-on-1 coaching and a structured onboarding ramp.
- Partnership Track: A clear 3–4 year path to ownership where partners typically earn 15–20% above base.
- Work-Life Harmony: No evenings, no weekends. Phone-only call (3–4 calls per week).
Compensation
- 1st Year Compensation: $180,000
- 2nd Year Potential: ~$190,000+
- Incentives: Productivity bonuses, quality incentives, and relocation support
Loan Repayment & Financial Support (Non‑Guaranteed)
Potential Loan Repayment Opportunities: Physicians may have access to loan repayment or scholarship opportunities through external programs that are expected to remain available through 2027. These opportunities are not guaranteed and are subject to eligibility, funding, and program availability, but may include:
Additional Benefits
- The “Joy Fund”: $500 annual stipend for personal hobbies or interests
- Full Benefits Package: CME stipend, health/dental insurance, malpractice coverage, short‑ and long‑term disability, and 401(k) eligibility after 12 months
Your Role & Impact
As an Internal Medicine (or Med-Peds/FM) Physician, you will lead a collaborative team in an integrated biopsychosocial model.
- Integrated Care: Work alongside on-site behavioral health, radiology, and ultrasound teams.
- Broad Scope: Opportunity for joint injections, office derm, and podiatry if desired.
- Collaborative Culture: Join a stable team (average tenure 4–5 years) that values your voice in process improvement.
Living in the Piedmont Triad
Lexington offers the perfect "choose your own adventure" lifestyle:
- Urban Sophistication: Live in Winston-Salem (20 mins away) for arts, fine dining (Mozelle's, The Katherine), and nightlife.
- Rural Charm: Enjoy acreage and quiet living in Lexington or Thomasville.
- Family Friendly: Top-tier schools in Clemmons and Arcadia.
- Affordability: A cost of living 35–40% below the national average.
Qualifications
- MD/DO (Internal Medicine, Med-Peds, or Family Medicine).
- Board Certified or Board Eligible (Expected residency completion Summer 2027).
- A heart for community-minded, empathetic care.
"I founded this practice because I wanted the autonomy to care for patients with compassion and long-term commitment. Many of our patients have nowhere else to go—nothing is more meaningful than helping them begin a life-changing journey toward health." — Stephen Hsieh, MD
