Morris Hospital Orthopedics & Sports Medicine (MHOSM), a mid-size, employed group w/modern state-of-the-art offices is seeking a successor for a busy and well-known physician who’s looking to pass on his practice as he slows down.  This is an AMAZING opportunity since you will be addressing an established community need and embedded in a well-managed practice that’s been deeply rooted in a large service area for over 28 years.  The current physician does about 300-350 totals/year and that is with zero marketing! We’re looking for someone who’s interested in total knee & hip; anterior hip approach is great, but not required.  We currently don’t have anyone who does revisions, so that would be a plus to our market.
