Redefine Surgical Care in a Community That Feels Like Home

General Surgery | Eastern Region of Rochester Regional Health
We’re Here for It.

At Rochester Regional Health, we believe that great care starts with great people — people who are deeply rooted in their communities, care like family, and have the courage to embrace tomorrow, today. We’re seeking a General Surgeon to join our growing team in the Eastern Region, serving the Clifton Springs, Newark, and Geneva communities. Here, you’ll find the freedom to build the practice you want, with a wide scope of elective general surgery in a health system driven by a bold vision: to become a national model of health

and healing.

This opportunity is ideal for a surgeon who thrives in a rural, community-based setting and enjoys performing a variety of procedures — including hernia repair, gallbladder, endoscopy, and soft tissue surgeries. Our surgeons work across two hospital campuses: Newark-Wayne Community Hospital and Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic, with patient care delivered through offices at Clifton Springs Hospital and Geneva Medical Campus. As we expand in Geneva, you’ll play a key role in growing a new practice and strengthening surgical access for patients across the region.
