JOB POST: Help Wanted, Intrepid Physician Needed

Who would like to join a Norman Rockwell inspired, old-fashioned New Hampshire General Practice, and put some grace in their life?   

The Last privately owned and operated General Practice in all of Strafford County New Hampshire seeks a young(er) associate physician. The good news: I am a Harvard educated MD MPH with 42 years experience, working this practice since 1989. I run an old fashioned General Practice/Walkin Practice and am on call 24/7 via pager and cellphone.  This generally means that all calls are handled before 9PM, and then we see those who called, the very next day, on immediate followup.

This “bygone era” immediate care approach gives me the lowest admission rate of any physician on the local hospital staff, and extraordinary acceptance by local and distant patients. (We see patients from New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, and further) Approximately 10,000 people in the Rochester catchment area, and beyond, believe that I am their family doctor, and have been fiercely loyal.
