Imagine building your surgical career alongside two accomplished partners who genuinely want to see you succeed, in a practice designed for growth and long-term prosperity. California Surgical Specialists is seeking a General Surgeon to join their thriving private practice serving the Inland Empire region of Southern California. This is a new position created specifically because the practice has more volume than two surgeons can handle, and the partners are ready to bring on a third colleague who shares their vision for excellence and entrepreneurial growth.
You will join Dr. Ali Abidali, a general and transplant-trained surgeon, and Dr. Sana, a colorectal and general surgeon, who combined their practices approximately one year ago. Together they have built California Surgical Specialists into a busy practice that serves patients across San Bernardino County and Los Angeles County. The practice maintains two strategically located clinics, one in Upland and one across the county line, allowing the group to contract with insurers in both regions and maximize patient access. Your week will include two half-days of clinic and three operative days, with the flexibility to build your practice at a sustainable pace.
The ideal candidate has completed an ACGME-accredited General Surgery residency and is board certified or board eligible in General Surgery. Robotic surgery proficiency is required, as the practice performs a significant volume of robotic-assisted procedures. The partners prefer candidates who are less than ten years out of training, as they are building a practice designed to thrive for decades. Both new graduates and experienced surgeons will be considered; the partners recognize that new graduates bring current training and adaptability, while experienced surgeons bring established skills and potentially faster ramp-up.
California Surgical Specialists is not looking for an employee to fill shifts. The partners are looking for a colleague who wants to build something together. Dr. Abidali has stated clearly that he needs partners, not just workers, and that the right person will eventually stand beside him as an equal in compensation and ownership. The practice has concrete plans to grow to six or seven surgeons over time, which means less call burden for everyone and more opportunities for specialization within the group. The volume exists to support this growth; in fact, the practice recently stepped back from covering additional hospitals because two surgeons could not keep up with the demand.
This position offers something increasingly rare in medicine: a genuine opportunity to build wealth through ownership in a well-run surgical practice, in a region with excellent payer mix and strong demand for surgical services.
