A rare opportunity awaits for a motivated and hard-working interventional cardiologist and electrophysiologist to enjoy the rewards of a private cardiology practice in Central California.

A single specialty cardiology group that has been in existence for 45 years is seeking an interventional cardiologist and an electrophysiologist to join our practice to replace two recently retired interventional cardiologists and one exceptionally busy expert electrophysiologist. The practice is productivity-based. The starting salary is competitive and the ultimate salary is limited only by one’s capacity and desire to work.

The practice is located in Central California in a medium sized city with a population in excess of 600,000 and catchment area of 1.5 million. This city is large enough to offer a plethora of educational, artistic, and recreational opportunities with many of the attractions of big city life such as fine restaurants, top-end artistic performances, and best in the world recreational opportunities while at the same time affording the safety and comfort not currently available in many large cities. Every weekend can be filled with a plethora of adventures as San Francisco and Los Angles are a 3 hour commute, the Sierra Nevada mountain range and Yosemite is an hour away, and the Central California coast is 2.5 hours away. Fresno, California offers an opportunity to enjoy the absolute best of California while offering affordable housing, a family oriented environment for raising children, and a small town attitude where friends are easy to make and to keep.

Our practice has been in existence for over 45 years. A recent review of the data indicates that there are over 100,000 active patients and we currently offer a state-of-the-art outpatient facility for providing top level care to these patients.                                                                                                                                                 

The group currently practices in both major hospital systems in the city. Both hospital systems offer newly installed cath labs with ample technology to practice the full gamut of interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, and structural heart disease endeavors.

The practice currently has over 30,000 square feet of office space on two separate campuses offering all noninvasive cardiology modalities including echo, SPECT nuclear imaging, PET/CT, and onsite pacemaker clinic. Additionally, the main facility offers an office-based peripheral vascular laboratory which has been active for the last decade in which the full gamut of peripheral vascular procedures can be performed.

Because of the recent retirement of two partners who were practicing comprehensive interventional cardiology, there is an immediate need for an interventional cardiologist. Skills and interest in structural heart disease is advantageous but not necessary and the opportunity to be mentored in acquiring structural heart disease skills does exist. Experience in peripheral vascular intervention would be a real plus and the opportunity exists to develop a very comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic peripheral vascular disease practice.

Two types of opportunities exist in electrophysiology depending on the preference of the applicant. Ideally, an electrophysiologist joining the practice would also have an interest in the practice of general cardiology.

Our current electrophysiologist has chosen this path and that offers him excellent diversification to enjoy providing comprehensive cardiovascular care for a gamut of patients while at the same time having significant opportunity to provide electrophysiology services for our entire group. Alternatively, an applicant interested in an electrophysiology only practice can be accommodated with a different compensation arrangement.

A core tenant of the practice is that it is a productivity-based model in which a physician’s hard work is proportionately rewarded. Both recent graduates and experienced physicians are invited to apply.
