With year-round outdoor recreation, a strong sense of community, and easy access to destinations throughout the region, it's an exciting place to build both a practice and a life.

Salary: Competitive base salary plus production, Medical Director stipend, monthly profit distributions, and long-term equity value creation
Location: Greater Sacramento Area, CA
