Job Description

  • Job Title: Plastic Surgeon
  • Location: Orange County, CA
  • Employment Type: Full-time or Part-time
  • Salary: $200,000 – $300,000 per year for Full-time
  • Plastic Surgeon Jobs in Orange County, CA: Your Wound Expertise, a Better Way to Practice

No one understands wound healing and tissue management like a Plastic Surgeon. Yet many plastic surgeons spend their careers covering hand and facial trauma call, fighting insurers over reconstructive cases, or carrying the overhead, marketing costs and pressure of running a cosmetic practice.

Across the country, plastic surgeons are dealing with falling reimbursements, growing competition from med spas and patients with ever-higher expectations.

Skilled Wound Care, a premier national physician group, is hiring Plastic Surgeons in Orange County, CA to work as wound care physicians and lead wound care initiatives in skilled nursing facilities across the area.

Maybe you’re a reconstructive surgeon ready to step away from trauma call and insurance battles. Maybe you’re a cosmetic surgeon looking for steady, reliable income without the costs of running a practice. Or maybe you want a part-time role alongside your current practice. Either way, this no-call Plastic Surgeon job offers a high-impact career without the corporate red tape.
