Nurse Practitioner (Neurology - Movement Disorder)

Nurse Practitioner (Neurology - Movement Disorder)

Overview & Highlights

Location: Ahwatukee, AZ

Schedule: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Compensation: $120,000 – $170,000 annually

Work Environment: Outpatient neurology clinic serving adult patients with movement disorders

Coverage Model or Hours: Structured clinic schedule with protected visit times

About the Opportunity / A Day in the Life

This is a focused outpatient neurology role centered on caring for patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, and related conditions. You’ll manage a consistent daily patient panel of approximately 12 patients, allowing for thoughtful, in-depth clinical care without the pressure of high-volume throughput.

Your day will include a mix of new patient evaluations and follow-up visits, with time built in to thoroughly assess symptoms, adjust treatment plans, and provide education to patients and families. You’ll work closely with a neurology team while maintaining a high level of autonomy in patient management.

This setting offers a steady, predictable workflow with a strong emphasis on continuity of care. You’ll have the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients while contributing to meaningful improvements in quality of life for a complex and often underserved patient population.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Structured patient volume with longer visit times—prioritizes quality over quantity
• Specialized focus in movement disorders with meaningful clinical impact
• Outpatient-only setting with a predictable weekday schedule
• Strong continuity of care and opportunity to build lasting patient relationships
• Collaborative neurology environment with provider autonomy
• No travel requirements and stable, on-site workflow
