Position Overview

Understanding the Role

Phoenix Children’s Pediatrics is seeking a dedicated and compassionate pediatrician to join a well-resourced and supported clinic that runs on common sense, located at 800 Cove Parkway in Cottonwood, AZ. This clinic, which operates Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, provides a unique opportunity to practice in a supportive and collaborative environment without the need to work weekends.

The clinic is currently undergoing exciting renovations and is expanding from 12 to 15 rooms, with exam rooms grouped in sets of three and a dedicated workspace upstairs. Each exam room is equipped with an Amazon Echo to facilitate translation services and coordinate care with Adi, the clinic’s care coordinator. The clinic also boasts a procedure room where procedures such as lacerations, splints, abscess drainage, and circumcisions are performed, with Wendy and Kate currently handling circumcisions.

The medical team at PCH Cottonwood Clinic is known for its collaborative spirit. While there are no advanced practice providers (APPs) currently, the team includes four medical assistants (MAs) and two certified nursing assistants (CNAs). The clinic benefits from easy access to consults and resources, with Cottonwood often receiving priority due to its location further from the main campus.

The patient base at the PCH Cottonwood Clinic consists predominantly of Medicaid (65%), with the remainder covered by HMO/PPO (33%) and a small percentage (2%) paying cash. Despite a 10% no-show rate, the clinic maintains a 94% fill rate and an 86% seen rate. There is a waitlist across the board, with varying wait times depending on the provider. The clinic serves a significant Spanish-speaking population (20%) and is in the process of setting up in-house behavioral health resources, currently outsourced to another company.
