As you step into St. Michael Medical Center in Silverdale, you'll experience the rare opportunity to build a thriving urology practice in one of Washington's most underserved yet beautiful regions. This position offers the chance to join an established healthcare system where you'll provide essential urological care to a community that desperately needs your expertise. Unlike high-pressure urban practices where you compete for market share, or isolated rural settings where resources are limited, this role places you at the center of the largest hospital serving the entire Kitsap Peninsula and Olympic Peninsula regions.
Your practice will serve a vast catchment area extending from Silverdale north to Port Angeles, west to Forks (where Twilight was filmed), and throughout Mason County – encompassing communities that would otherwise travel hours for specialized urological care. The service area represents a population requiring at least nine urologists according to community needs assessments, yet currently has only five practicing physicians. This translates to immediate patient volume with 150+ referrals currently waiting and an expected 5–6 new patients daily, ensuring your practice will be robust from day one.
St. Michael Medical Center holds the distinction of being the only major hospital in this region, creating a unique practice environment where your expertise will be the primary resource for complex urological cases. The hospital's recent expansion and investment in advanced technology, including multiple Xi robots and 24/7 robotics capabilities, demonstrates the organization's commitment to providing cutting-edge care. As part of Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, you'll have access to system-wide resources, including virtual tumor boards, academic affiliations, and subspecialty consultation while maintaining the autonomy of community practice.
This represents a replacement position following the departure of Dr. Manas Jain, meaning you'll step into an established workflow with experienced support staff, proven referral patterns, and immediate productivity potential. The combination of immediate patient volume, advanced facility resources, and supportive organizational structure creates an ideal environment for a urologist seeking both professional fulfillment and lifestyle balance in one of the country's most scenic practice locations.
The unique geography and population density of this service area ensures long-term practice stability and growth potential, while the hospital's role as the regional medical center guarantees your position as an essential healthcare provider for thousands of residents who currently travel significant distances for urological care.
