Your office and primary responsibilities will be at a private office space in Ochsner CHRISTUS Lake Charles Hospital. The ideal Schedule is Monday-Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm with 36 hours of patient contact per week. You will have the freedom and autonomy associated with your practice, but have the full support of the hospital, including research opportunities. The incoming candidate must be comfortable in all aspects of general Urology. This Urologist will be expected to do all general and procedural Urology, with two DaVinci SI robots and one XI robot available to schedule time on. Procedures include Robotic Assisted Surgery, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy, Laser therapies, HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
Ochsner’s primary care physicians and specialists have no doubt that you will be busy from day one.
Payor Mix: a balance of private insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare.
Call: The call schedule is 1:2, and Ochsner had an internal Uro from another site helping out with call. It is taken every other weekend at a time. Otherwise they typically are able to see a full schedule of patients Monday-Friday. They shared that their ER team is very self-sufficient and only call if necessary. Call overall isn’t bad and varies a bit. Dr. Rutland has communicated that call varies, including phone consults. There is no more than 3-4 hours of callback per day per weekend.
