Job Description

Planning for Summer 2027? Escape "corporate medicine" before you even start.

At High Rock Internal Medicine, we are looking for a forward-thinking Internal Medicine Attending to join our mission in Summer 2027 . While the large hospital systems are focused on quarterly quotas, we are focusing on our long-term legacy. Founded in 2000 by Dr. Stephen Hsieh, our independent practice is a haven for the underserved and the medically complex. Here, you aren’t just a provider; you are a future pillar of the community.

Why High Rock? The Independent Advantage

• True Clinical Autonomy: No "red tape." If you see a way to improve patient care, we implement it.
• Mission over Metrics: We specialize in caring for disadvantaged and complex populations. Your success is measured by patient impact, not just RVUs.
• Mentorship & Growth: Transition from residency with confidence. Dr. Hsieh provides weekly 1-on-1 coaching and a structured onboarding ramp.
• Partnership Track: A clear 3–4 year path to ownership where partners typically earn 15–20% above base.
• Work-Life Harmony: No evenings, no weekends. Phone-only call (3–4 calls per week).

The Compensation & Benefits

• 1st Year Compensation: $180,000
• 2nd Year Potential: ~$190,000+
• Incentives: Productivity bonuses, quality incentives, and relocation support.
• The "Joy Fund": $500 annual stipend specifically for your personal hobbies/interests.
• Full Benefits: CME stipend, health/dental, malpractice coverage, short and long term disability, 401K after 12 months.

Your Role & Impact

As an Internal Medicine (or Med-Peds/FM) Physician, you will lead a collaborative team in an integrated biopsychosocial model.

• Integrated Care: Work alongside on-site behavioral health, radiology, and ultrasound teams.
• Broad Scope: Opportunity for joint injections, office derm, and podiatry if desired.
• Collaborative Culture: Join a stable team (average tenure 4–5 years) that values your voice in process improvement.

Living in the Piedmont Triad

Lexington offers the perfect "choose your own adventure" lifestyle:

• Urban Sophistication: Live in Winston-Salem (20 mins away) for arts, fine dining (Mozelle's, The Katherine), and nightlife.
• Rural Charm: Enjoy acreage and quiet living in Lexington or Thomasville.
• Family Friendly: Top-tier schools in Clemmons and Arcadia.
• Affordability: A cost of living 35–40% below the national average.

Qualifications

• MD/DO (Internal Medicine, Med-Peds, or Family Medicine).
• Board Certified or Board Eligible (Expected residency completion Summer 2027).
• A heart for community-minded, empathetic care.

"I founded this practice because I wanted the autonomy to care for patients with compassion and long-term commitment. Many of our patients have nowhere else to go—nothing is more meaningful than helping them begin a life-changing journey toward health." — Stephen Hsieh, MD
