Periodontist OR Surgery-Focused GP (Part-Time) - Multi-Site NM
One Travel Week Per Month | Grants + Gallup + Farmington | High Surgical Demand | Dedicated Surgical Setups
If you're based in
Albuquerque and want a role that's
surgery-forward, predictable, and built for efficiency, this is it.
We're launching a
specialty/surgical program across
three established New Mexico practices and hiring either a
Periodontist or a
surgery-focused General Dentist to lead it. You'll have
blocked surgical days, dedicated operatories, and a ready-made referral base-without internal specialist competition.
The Big Win

Stable rhythm. High volume. Minimal admin friction.
