Help us scale a new way to deliver specialty surgery.

Doctors in Network (DIN) connects Rotating Surgeons with hospitals in underserved areas for recurring, fractional coverage. We take care of matching, scheduling, contracting, and logistics so you can focus on surgical excellence and patient outcomes.

As we launch our second ophthalmology cohort in 2026, we’re seeking highly skilled cataract, retina, and glaucoma surgeons to help refine and scale our workflows. At our surgeon-led, early-stage startup, you’ll help shape a growing foundation by strengthening our systems, our culture, and the future of specialty surgery.

Why be a DIN Rotating Surgeon?

DIN is a modern surgical workforce platform creating a new way for surgeons to practice anywhere, anytime. Our model is designed for flexibility without sacrificing continuity, outcomes, or compensation.

You’ll stay in your current city, close to friends and family, while traveling to nearby hospitals. You’ll return to the same sites, work alongside familiar teams, and build lasting relationships with your patients. It’s the freedom of traditional locums paired with the stability and trust of long-term partnerships.

You’ll thrive at DIN if you:

• Want to practice surgery on a part-time, 1099 basis

• Are open to regional travel at least once a month for a minimum of one year

• Have completed at least 750 phacos independently (post-residency or fellowship); other specialties will be evaluated on a per-case basis

• Are comfortable collaborating with local support staff

• Are a board-certified or board-eligible ophthalmologist with at least 2 years of unsupervised practice

• Hold an active medical license in good standing in at least one state

What you’ll do as one of our Rotating Surgeons

• Perform a full day of surgery at matched sites within driving distance of your home city

• Travel regionally to assigned hospitals on a recurring schedule

• Train on-site O.R. staff and collaborate with local optometrists for co-management

• Provide telemedicine support for pre-op evaluations and post-op complication management

• Share feedback to support continuous improvement of our fractional staffing model

Compensation and ownership

Final compensation is discussed during the offer stage and depends on the surgeon’s level of experience. The second-cohort package includes:

• Signing bonus, delivered upon first confirmed site match

• Fair-market-value (FMV) per diem for each O.R. day completed

• Percentage of production after meeting a predetermined benchmark (varies by surgeon experience)

Our model is transparent, compliant, and designed to reward both your clinical expertise and your contribution to our growth.
