Join a Growing Reconstructive Practice in Wichita

Thrive Reconstructive Surgery is hiring a reconstructive plastic surgeon to join our Wichita office. This is a high-volume, high-impact role within a private practice known for taking on the cases that meaningfully change patients’ lives — and Wichita is one of our most exciting growth markets.

About Thrive

Thrive Reconstructive Surgery is a growing private practice with deep expertise in reconstructive plastic surgery — including hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), oncologic reconstruction, microsurgery, complex closures, and traumatic and emergency reconstruction. Our reputation is built on surgical work that genuinely changes lives, supported by close referral relationships with dermatology, oncology, and primary care.

Demand for our specialized expertise has grown faster than we can meet alone, and we’re expanding our team across Kansas, Texas, and additional markets nationwide.

Why Surgeons Join Thrive

This is a team that loves what it does. Our surgeons describe Thrive as the rare practice where the work is meaningful, the people are genuinely supportive, and the day-to-day actually matches what was promised in the interview. That’s the result of intentional culture-building around our five core values: integrity, empathy, innovation, collaboration, and precision.

What you’ll find here:

  • A reconstructive case mix you’ll be proud of — high-volume, high-impact procedures including HS surgery, oncologic reconstruction, microsurgery, breast reconstruction, complex ventral hernia repair, pelvic and perineal reconstruction, upper and lower extremity reconstruction, scalp reconstruction, and traumatic and emergency reconstruction
  • Specialized training in Thrive-developed protocols for high-complexity reconstruction — work directly with surgeons who are leaders in this space
  • Established referral pipeline from day one — no building a practice from scratch, no hunting for cases
  • Strong mentorship for new graduates and fellows — we invest in the surgeons who join us
  • Path toward partnership for the right surgeon
  • Genuine work-life balance — not a slogan, an actual commitment
  • An anchor role in Wichita — serve a community with strong demand for reconstructive expertise, with the support and infrastructure of a multi-location practice behind you

A Note on Case Mix
Thrive’s primary strength is reconstructive surgery, and that’s where the bulk of our case volume sits. That said, we know many surgeons coming out of training haven’t fully decided how they want to balance reconstructive and aesthetic work — and that’s a perfectly normal place to be. We’d rather have that conversation than rule you out. If you’re drawn to reconstructive work but curious about how case mix could evolve, let’s talk.

Compensation & Benefits

  • $750,000+ total compensation
  • Guaranteed base + bonus
  • Sign-on bonus
  • Relocation allowance
  • Paid time off
  • Annual CME allowance with 5 dedicated days off
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Fully paid overhead — including malpractice, office space, staff, supplies, licensing and credentialing fees, and EMR

Who We’re Looking For

  • MD or DO with Board Certification or Board Eligibility in Plastic Surgery
  • Valid Kansas medical license, or the ability to obtain one
  • Strong surgical skills paired with a commitment to patient-centered care
  • Team-oriented — someone who wants to be part of a culture, not just collect a paycheck
  • Excited about reconstructive work, even if you’re still finding your specific focus

We’re happy to talk with surgeons finishing residency, completing a fellowship, transitioning out of military or academic medicine, or considering a change from a first practice.
