Orthopedic Physician Assistant (PA-C)
Established Orthopedic Practice
Lakeside Orthopedic Institute | Lake Havasu City, Arizona
Lakeside Orthopedic Institute is expanding and seeking a high-performing Orthopedic Physician Assistant to join our established surgical team in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
The incoming provider will function as a true clinical and surgical partner, working directly alongside multiple orthopedic surgeons in a mature, efficient practice with strong patient demand and consistent surgical volume.
Opportunities combining operative exposure, procedural autonomy, and long-term practice stability are increasingly rare — particularly within a collaborative private-practice environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Direct daily collaboration with experienced orthopedic surgeons
- Balanced mix of clinic, procedures, and surgery
- Established workflows and strong clinical support staff
- High-functioning team culture focused on efficiency and outcomes
- Practice stability with continued regional growth
You will step into an already thriving orthopedic service line — allowing you to focus on practicing medicine rather than building volume.
Role Responsibilities
- Evaluate and manage orthopedic patients across the continuum of care
- Perform joint injections and in-office procedures
- Pre-operative and post-operative management
- Coordinate care plans with surgeons and clinical staff
Compensation & Benefits
- Base Salary: $125,000 – $145,000 (DOE)
- Performance-based bonus opportunity
- Employer pays 80% of medical, dental & vision premiums
- Up to 4% 401(k) employer match
- 2 weeks PTO 1 week sick leave
- 7 paid holidays annually
Compensation structure designed for long-term retention and professional growth.
Who Will Thrive Here
The ideal candidate is:
- Confident and clinically decisive
- Comfortable in a fast-paced surgical environment
- Team-oriented with strong professional presence
- Motivated by hands-on orthopedic practice and patient outcomes
- Orthopedic or surgical experience preferred
This role is best suited for a PA seeking professional ownership of their role and a practice where their contribution is highly valued.
Lifestyle Advantage — Practice Where Others Vacation
Lake Havasu City offers a unique combination of professional opportunity and lifestyle balance:
- 300 days of sunshine annually
- Boating, water sports, hiking, and outdoor recreation are minutes away
- No metropolitan commute
- Lower cost of living with exceptional quality of life
Confidential inquiries encouraged.
Experienced candidates are invited to explore a long-term opportunity within one of the region’s established orthopedic practices.
