GENERAL INFORMATION

We are looking for an excellent, dedicated generalist OBGYN, who is looking to be invested in our community!

We have every opportunity to participate in resident education.

We currently have a great group of OBGYN physicians who truly function as a team. We back each other up, support each other, and continuously push ourselves to improve and learn. We believe in mentorship of each other, especially of our younger physicians. And we are very fortunate to work with support staff who are dedicated to our patients and proud of what they do. We also have strong leadership and sense of community here. Our administrators and chiefs of the various departments work very cohesively together.

Einstein Montgomery is a wonderful place to work!
