As the newest member of UC Health's Pueblo Neurosurgery team, you will step into a well-established practice with an immediate patient base and the perfect balance of autonomy and support. Unlike many neurosurgical positions that require years to build a solid referral network, your schedule will fill quickly thanks to the regional reputation of excellence that Dr. Murad has cultivated over his 13 years of service. You'll experience the satisfaction of meeting substantial community need while maintaining control over your surgical preferences and patient care approach.
The practice offers a refreshing focus on quality of life with a thoughtfully structured schedule of two days in clinic, two days in the operating room, and one flex day for administrative tasks, research, or additional surgical cases. This balanced approach stands in stark contrast to the grueling pace many neurosurgeons endure in metropolitan settings, where administrative burdens and excessive call often lead to burnout.
You'll serve a wide geographic area where neurosurgical expertise is in high demand. The practice has actually been losing patients to Colorado Springs due to capacity constraints—a situation your arrival will immediately help address. The community genuinely needs your skills, creating an environment where you'll feel valued and see the direct impact of your work on patient access to care.
The clinic's strategic location—directly across a walkway bridge from Parkview Medical Center— creates exceptional convenience and efficiency in your daily practice. This proximity eliminates the wasted travel time common in many practices and allows you to seamlessly transition between clinic and hospital responsibilities.
This position represents a distinctive opportunity to join a collegial, supportive practice where you can focus on providing excellent patient care without the political challenges and resource constraints common in many neurosurgical environments.
