A physician-owned gastroenterology practice in The Woodlands, Texas is recruiting a therapeutic-focused gastroenterologist to become the third partner in a two-physician clinic operating under the GI Alliance network. This is a true private practice opportunity — employed with a protected salary for the first two years, then a defined partnership track with ambulatory surgery center (ASC) ownership buy-in beginning in year three. The practice blends general GI with advanced therapeutic endoscopy, and the incoming physician will have local clinical autonomy backed by national-scale operational and business infrastructure.
