About the Opportunity
An established Family Practice clinic in Santa Ana, Orange County, is seeking a motivated Medical Doctor (MD) interested in practicing primary care with the opportunity to take over an existing patient practice and become a business owner.
This is an excellent opportunity for an entrepreneurial physician looking to transition from employment into practice ownership without the challenges of starting a clinic from scratch.
Our clinic has an established patient base, existing clinical infrastructure, and contracts with most major Independent Physician Associations (IPAs) throughout Orange County.
We are open to flexible arrangements, including employment with a pathway to ownership, gradual buy-in, partnership, or full practice acquisition.

Established Practice: Existing primary care patients and operational infrastructure.
IPA Contracts: Contracted with most major IPAs in Orange County.
Ownership Potential: Opportunity to gradually buy into or acquire the medical practice.
Wellness Expansion: Potential to develop preventive care, weight management, longevity, and wellness services.
Real Estate Investment: Optional opportunity to purchase the commercial property housing the clinic, which includes income-generating rental units.
Growth Potential: Opportunity to expand the patient base, services, and practice revenue.
Responsibilities

Manage existing patients and develop new patient relationships.
Ensure high-quality care and continuity of services.

Qualifications

Board-certified or board-eligible in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine preferred.

Why Join Us?
This is more than a traditional physician position. It offers the opportunity to build long-term equity in an established medical practice while expanding into growing healthcare markets such as wellness and preventive medicine.
The incoming physician may have the opportunity to assume clinical leadership, transition into ownership, and potentially invest in income-producing commercial real estate.
Ownership terms are flexible and will be discussed confidentially with qualified candidates.
Physicians interested in clinical practice, business ownership, and long-term growth are encouraged to apply.
Please submit your CV through Indeed with a brief description of your interest in practice ownership.
All inquiries will be kept confidential.
