Job Summary: 

The General Orthopedic Surgeon will be a core member of Strive Surgical's integrated orthopedic platform, providing broad-based surgical and non-surgical care for the full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions. This role is essential to ensuring that no orthopedic patient is turned away. Working alongside a dedicated total joint surgeon, spine surgeon(s), and PM&R/pain management physician, the General Orthopedic Surgeon handles the wide range of cases that fall outside highly subspecialized joint replacement and complex spine surgery, including sports medicine, upper extremity, fracture care, foot and ankle, and arthroscopic procedures. The ideal candidate is a versatile, high-volume surgeon who values a team-based care model and is energized by the opportunity to practice across the full breadth of orthopedics within a growing, physician-friendly platform.

Why Join STRIVE Surgical?:

• Join a purpose-built orthopedic platform with a full complement of specialists: you will never need to turn a patient away because every orthopedic subspecialty is covered within the practice
• Built-in referral pipeline from the PM&R/pain management physician, direct-to-employer bundle programs, and cross-referrals from fellow orthopedic and spine surgeons
• High-volume ASC access with modern infrastructure and a dedicated surgical team, avoiding hospital bureaucracy and OR scheduling delays
• Compensation model that includes ASC bonus, significantly increasing earning potential beyond professional fees alone
• Supportive leadership team with deep healthcare operations, payor contracting, and practice management expertise
• Long Island home base with satellite days in NYC, offering schedule predictability and minimal travel

Cross-Referral and Platform Collaboration

ASC Utilization and Efficiency

• Collaborate with ASC leadership on case scheduling, supply chain management, and equipment needs to support a high-quality surgical environment
• Maintain awareness of evolving CMS and commercial payor guidelines for ASC-eligible orthopedic procedures to ensure the practice captures appropriate case volume

Required

• Completion of an ACGME-accredited residency in Orthopedic Surgery
• Board certified or board eligible by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS)
• Active, unrestricted medical license in New York

• Demonstrated surgical proficiency across multiple orthopedic subspecialty areas including upper extremity, lower extremity, sports medicine, and trauma/fracture care
• Minimum 2 years of post-residency clinical experience in a general orthopedic surgery practice (exceptional fellowship-trained candidates will be considered)
• Comfort and experience performing a high volume of arthroscopic procedures in an ASC setting

Preferred

• Fellowship training in Sports Medicine, Hand and Upper Extremity, or Foot and Ankle
• Experience in a multi-site, high-volume outpatient or ASC-based orthopedic practice
• Familiarity with EMR systems (AdvancedMD experience a plus)
• Track record of building referral networks and driving surgical volume
