Orthopedic Physician Assistant (PA-C)

Established Orthopedic Practice

Lakeside Orthopedic Institute | Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Lakeside Orthopedic Institute is expanding and seeking a high-performing Orthopedic Physician Assistant to join our established surgical team in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

The incoming provider will function as a true clinical and surgical partner, working directly alongside multiple orthopedic surgeons in a mature, efficient practice with strong patient demand and consistent surgical volume.

Opportunities combining operative exposure, procedural autonomy, and long-term practice stability are increasingly rare - particularly within a collaborative private-practice environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Direct daily collaboration with experienced orthopedic surgeons
  • Balanced mix of clinic, procedures, and surgery
  • Established workflows and strong clinical support staff
  • High-functioning team culture focused on efficiency and outcomes
  • Practice stability with continued regional growth

You will step into an already thriving orthopedic service line - allowing you to focus on practicing medicine rather than building volume.

Role Responsibilities

  • Evaluate and manage orthopedic patients across the continuum of care
  • Perform joint injections and in-office procedures
  • Pre-operative and post-operative management
  • Coordinate care plans with surgeons and clinical staff

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Salary: $125,000 - $145,000 (DOE)
  • Performance-based bonus opportunity
  • Employer pays 80% of medical, dental & vision premiums
  • Up to 4% 401(k) employer match
  • 2 weeks PTO + 1 week sick leave
  • 7 paid holidays annually

Compensation structure designed for long-term retention and professional growth.

Who Will Thrive Here

The ideal candidate is:

  • Confident and clinically decisive
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced surgical environment
  • Team-oriented with strong professional presence
  • Motivated by hands-on orthopedic practice and patient outcomes
  • Orthopedic or surgical experience preferred

This role is best suited for a PA seeking professional ownership of their role and a practice where their contribution is highly valued.

Lifestyle Advantage - Practice Where Others Vacation

Lake Havasu City offers a unique combination of professional opportunity and lifestyle balance:

  • 300+ days of sunshine annually
  • Boating, water sports, hiking, and outdoor recreation are minutes away
  • No metropolitan commute
  • Lower cost of living with exceptional quality of life

Confidential inquiries encouraged.

Experienced candidates are invited to explore a long-term opportunity within one of the region's established orthopedic practices.
