Traverse City, MI

A premier cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practice in Northern Michigan is seeking an ambitious plastic surgeon to join its well-established program. Based in Traverse City, the practice was founded over 20 years ago and has built a strong reputation for excellence, outstanding patient reviews, and consistent demand.

The incoming associate will benefit from a thriving patient base, an experienced and supportive staff, and the flexibility to develop their ideal clinical practice within a stable and respected platform.

The main location features a 6,500-square-foot facility with a Quad-A certified operating room and convenient access to one of the busiest surgery centers in the state. Fractional physician ownership in the surgery center will be offered to the successful candidate.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a growing practice with an established cosmetic waiting list, allowing the new surgeon to quickly build a busy schedule. The senior surgeon is mid-career and committed to expanding services throughout the region while mentoring a motivated physician who is interested in long-term growth and eventual leadership within the practice.

Northern Michigan offers an exceptional quality of life. The region is known for its outdoor recreation, beautiful freshwater lakes, and vibrant food and wine culture. Summers offer boating and beach access, while winter brings skiing and extensive trail systems for year-round outdoor enjoyment.

Qualified candidates must be board-certified or board-eligible in plastic surgery. Fellowship training is welcome but not required. Contact Ashley Tucker, PM. 231-929-7700 or atucker@copperaesthetics.com.
