3. We just had an Ophthalmologist drop in to say hello and give us her CV. Her husband is in the same building as us interviewing with an orthopedic practice. We, at this time are not hiring, but I thought I would put the word out to see if anyone out there was interested in her and might even know of an orthopedic office looking for a surgeon. Two for the price of one so to speak. You can all me at 1-800-456-0047 if you know of anyone.
Thanks
