Job description
About the Practice
The practice is a physician-owned, four-location dermatology and aesthetics practice serving the greater Atlanta area. The practice provides comprehensive medical dermatology, Mohs surgery, and a full-service aesthetics division, and continues to expand its clinical service lines and footprint. The practice is independently owned, with no private equity involvement.
Position Summary
The Chief Operating Officer serves as the senior-most administrative executive in the organization, reporting directly to the physician Owners. The COO holds full accountability for the operational and financial performance of all four clinics and the aesthetics division, leads the practice's management team, and partners with the Owners on strategic planning, growth initiatives, and major business decisions.
