This is an Independent Contractor opportunity, with competitive compensation of $160,000 and up, based on RBRVU with bonuses for higher productivity.

"I've lived and practiced here for the past 17 years, and I've enjoyed basing my career in this multi-specialty clinic that provides very high quality patient care," says David Newell, MD, Endocrinologist and North Coast Family Health Center Medical Director.  "I have found my practice to be extremely satisfying, and my interaction with provider colleagues stimulating.  I have the joys of a small town practice backed by the support of specialists and technology found in much larger, urban settings."
