Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon – Vermont

Succession Opportunity | Fee-for-Service | Established Seven-Figure Production

A respected senior surgeon in this Vermont market is preparing for retirement, creating a true succession opportunity within a long-standing, referral-driven practice.

This is a fully fee-for-service environment with sustained surgical demand and limited local specialist availability. The incoming surgeon will step into an established schedule, strong general dentist relationships, and a community that values specialty care.

For the right candidate, this represents immediate productivity and a defined pathway to partnership.

The Practice Environment

• Full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery in a mature, highly regarded practice

• Established referral base with longstanding GP loyalty

• Demand that consistently exceeds available surgical capacity

• Documented history of seven-figure annual surgeon earnings

• Stable case flow supported by reputation rather than heavy marketing efforts

This is not a start-up or turnaround. It is the continuation of a thoughtfully built surgical practice with deep community roots.

Professional Community and Support

Vermont offers lifestyle advantages without professional isolation.

There are six MAX surgeons practicing locally in Vermont, providing a meaningful peer network for collaboration, case discussion, and shared clinical standards. You will have trusted colleagues nearby while maintaining autonomy within your own practice.

Beyond the local presence, you are supported by a broader surgeon-led network across the Northeast - preserving independence while offering operational infrastructure and strategic partnership.

Compensation and Partnership Structure

• Competitive, market-leading compensation model

• Productivity-based earnings with a proven track record of seven-figure performance

• Equity purchase opportunity

• Comprehensive benefits package and relocation support

The structure is designed for long-term alignment and partnership.

Why Vermont

Many surgeons do not initially consider Vermont.

Those who visit often recognize:

• Minimal specialist saturation

• Strong professional visibility within the community

• Efficient, loyal referral networks

• Short commute times and accessible lifestyle

• A four-season environment that supports true balance

• A fee-for-service environment - a practice model that often takes years, if not decades, to build in larger metropolitan markets.

If you are thoughtfully considering where to build the next phase of your career, this opportunity warrants a confidential discussion.

Do you want to become a surrogate? We are now offering a sign on bonus to all qualified and matched surrogates that sign contracts. The first step is to fill out our surrogate application. A fertility specialist will contact you to continue the process. For intended parents interested in surrogacy to start or grow their families please contact us today. The surrogacy process is complex, but we will be with you every step of the way. Call today to get started.

Women who may have the ability to produce eggs but are unable to use their uterus or do not have a uterus, may consider a surrogate. A donated egg may also be used with the surrogate in the event a woman cannot produce her own eggs or her uterus is not intact or insufficient to carry a pregnancy. In either case, the husband's sperm, if viable, may be used.

Using an egg donor unrelated to the surrogate carrier eliminates any biological tie. The egg of the surrogate is never used as part of the assisted reproduction process, so that a surrogate is never in the position of delivering her own biological child.

The basic requirements of a woman to serve as a surrogate are:

• Emotionally stable
• Responsible
• In good physical health
• Non-smoker
• Has had at least one successful pregnancy
• Is capable of carrying a child to full term

A woman is not required to fall within a particular age range to serve as a surrogate, but most intended parents prefer a surrogate under the age of 40. For more information on surrogacy please see the documents on the left side of this page.

In Texas, there is a judicial process for validating the Gestational Contract (the contract between the intended parents and the surrogate). Included within the various requirements for having a Gestational Contract validated by a Texas court is that the intended parents must be married and the surrogate must have previously carried a child to term. Additionally, there are residency requirements that apply to either the surrogate or the intended parents, but not both.

Compensation for a surrogate services generally starts in the range of $35,000 - $40,000, for base compensation with over all fees up to 70k, in many cases. The amount of compensation is dependent upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the surrogate carries twins, what procedures a surrogate is required to undergo and whether the delivery is vaginally or by cesarean section.
