DeTar Healthcare System | Victoria, Texas

Are you looking for more than just another employed Gastroenterology position?

DeTar Healthcare System is seeking a BC/BE Gastroenterologist to establish and grow the region's dedicated GI program. This is a unique opportunity to build a thriving practice with the support of an established health system, an extensive primary care referral network, and hospital leadership committed to expanding digestive health services.

With significant unmet community demand, you'll step into a practice where patients are already waiting—allowing you to build volume quickly while shaping the future of Gastroenterology in the region.

• Immediate referral base with strong community demand
• Hospital-employed position with full administrative and operational support
• Flexibility to develop the practice based on your clinical interests
• Opportunity to expand procedural offerings as the program grows
• Collaborative medical staff and supportive physician leadership
• Ability to mentor Family Medicine residents and participate in clinical education
• Opportunities for clinical research and future program development

Practice Highlights

• Flexible inpatient and outpatient mix
• Monday–Thursday clinic schedule with Friday half-days
• Dedicated office space within a modern practice environment
• APP support available with plans to expand as patient volumes increase
• Approximately 20–25 patients per clinic session
• General GI practice with opportunities to perform advanced procedures
• ERCP experience welcomed but not required
• Independent contractor (1099 PSA) option available for physicians seeking additional flexibility

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive MGMA-based compensation package
• Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance
• Student loan repayment assistance
• CME allowance and paid licensure
• Relocation assistance
• Paid malpractice coverage
• Retirement benefits
