Dentist – Surgery-Focused

Periodontist OR Surgery-Focused GP (Part-Time) — Multi-Site NM

One Travel Week Per Month | Grants + Gallup + Farmington | High Surgical Demand | Dedicated Surgical Setups

If you’re based in Albuquerque and want a role that’s surgery-forward, predictable, and built for efficiency, this is it.

We’re launching a specialty/surgical program across three established New Mexico practices and hiring either a Periodontist or a surgery-focused General Dentist to lead it. You’ll have blocked surgical days, dedicated operatories, and a ready-made referral base—without internal specialist competition.

The Big Win

Work it like this: one scheduled travel week per month (4 clinical days total).
Stable rhythm. High volume. Minimal admin friction.
