Northern California Full-Time Part-Time


A rare opportunity to be the only advanced care practitioner working alongside a single surgeon, combining advanced surgical assisting, longitudinal patient care, clinical research, and eventual practice leadership in one highly specialized role.

About the Sternberg Clinic

The Sternberg Clinic is a nationally recognized specialty surgical practice primarily focused on the treatment of pilonidal disease. Patients travel from around the world to receive care from Dr. Jeffrey Sternberg, a leading expert with more than 25 years of experience who has performed nearly 2,000 Pilonidal Rotation and Advancement Flap (RAF) procedures. Our mission extends beyond surgery, combining exceptional patient care with research, education, and innovation to improve outcomes and restore quality of life.

We are looking for a motivated, mature, and curious professional who wants to build a long-term career, make a meaningful difference in patients' lives, and help guide the continued growth of an established and respected surgical practice.

Pay will be assigned depending on level of experience.

  • One-on-one mentorship with a recognized surgical expert.
  • Advanced surgical training and skill development.
  • Research and publication opportunities.
  • Clear leadership growth path.
  • Meaningful impact on patients' lives.

Important Employment Requirement

Because the Clinic and its licensed clinicians maintain a specific non-contracted relationship with commercial insurers, the successful candidate must be willing and able to comply with the practice's participation requirements. These requirements will be discussed in detail during the interview process.
