Dentist – Surgery-Focused
Job Description

One Travel Week Per Month | Grants + Gallup + Farmington | High Surgical Demand | Dedicated Surgical Setups
If you’re based in Albuquerque and want a role that’s surgery-forward, predictable, and built for efficiency, this is it.
We’re launching a specialty/surgical program across three established New Mexico practices and hiring either a Periodontist or a surgery-focused General Dentist to lead it. You’ll have blocked surgical days, dedicated operatories, and a ready-made referral base—without internal specialist competition.

Work it like this: one scheduled travel week per month (4 clinical days total).
Stable rhythm. High volume. Minimal admin friction.

Grants — 1 day/month
Gallup — 2 days/month
Farmington — 1 day/month
Albuquerque-Based Logistics (Easy Drives)
Grants → Albuquerque: ~1 hr 15 min
Gallup → Albuquerque: ~2 hr 5 min

Travel and overnights can be coordinated so your week runs smoothly.

Albuquerque is an easy hub for monthly travel:
Daily flights: Denver ↔ Albuquerque
Daily flights: Phoenix ↔ Albuquerque
Daily flights: Las Vegas ↔ Albuquerque
Regional access within New Mexico:
Farmington → Denver via United (Daily)
Gallup → Las Vegas via Advanced Air (Mon/Wed/Fri)
