You will join an established, high-volume orthopedic service line at Memorial Health System of Southwest Oklahoma as the fifth orthopedic surgeon on staff. This is a net-new position created specifically to meet growing regional demand, meaning you step into immediate patient volume rather than spending months building a practice from scratch. The hospital has invested in infrastructure, support staff, and technology to ensure you can focus on what you do best: taking care of patients.
This hospital-employed position offers the stability of a guaranteed salary with the upside of productivity-based compensation. You will practice bread-and-butter general orthopedics with exposure to trauma, joint replacement, and sports medicine cases. The role suits both new graduates looking for a supportive environment to launch their careers and experienced surgeons seeking a balanced practice with strong institutional backing.
Lawton serves as the regional healthcare hub for southwest Oklahoma, drawing patients from surrounding rural communities who depend on Memorial Health System for specialty surgical care. As a general orthopedist here, you will address a genuine community need while enjoying the professional satisfaction of being a trusted resource for musculoskeletal care across the region.
This opportunity offers what many orthopedic surgeons struggle to find: immediate case volume, institutional investment in your success, and a schedule that allows for life outside the hospital.
