A well-established hospital-affiliated gastroenterology group in the northern suburbs of Tampa, Florida is recruiting a board-certified or board-eligible Gastroenterologist to join a traditional inpatient and outpatient practice operating out of a single office location. The anchoring facility is a 392-bed acute care hospital — the sole Level II Trauma Center and Comprehensive Stroke Center serving a three-county region of one million residents.

About the Community
The northern suburbs of Tampa offer a high quality of life with access to top-rated schools, diverse dining and cultural amenities, and year-round outdoor recreation along Florida's Gulf Coast. The area combines the energy and infrastructure of a major metro — Tampa ranks among the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast — with the lower density and community feel of its suburban corridors. Cost of living remains favorable relative to other major Florida markets, and the absence of state income tax amplifies every dollar earned.
