Description
Breast Surgeon – Community-Focused Practice
The Breast Center | Valley View HospitalGlenwood Springs, Colorado | Serving the Western Slope
Valley View Hospital is seeking a Breast Surgeon to join our established Breast Center program serving patients across Colorado’s Western Slope — all while living in majestic Glenwood Springs, nestled between Aspen and Vail, where others vacation and you get to call home.
This opportunity is ideal for a surgeon who values longitudinal patient relationships, multidisciplinary collaboration, and meaningful community impact within an independent, physician-aligned health system. Here, you can build a rewarding breast surgery practice focused on high-quality care, access, and continuity — without the pressures of a large academic or corporate environment.

Surgical management of high-risk breast conditions
Breast oncologic surgery across disease stages
Longitudinal care from diagnosis through survivorship
Close collaboration with medical oncology, radiation oncology, imaging, and navigation
Participation in shared decision-making within a supportive, team-based environment
Opportunity to help shape the future growth and direction of breast services across the Western Slope
The practice is designed to support thoughtful scheduling, strong care coordination, and sustainable work-life balance while maintaining clinical excellence.
Integrated Multidisciplinary Breast Care
The Breast Center operates within a Commission on Cancer (CoC)–accredited cancer program and is fully integrated with the Calaway-Young Cancer Center. Care is delivered through a coordinated, multidisciplinary model that includes breast imaging, medical oncology, radiation oncology, genetics, nurse navigation, survivorship, and supportive services.
The program also includes in-house plastic and reconstructive surgery, allowing seamless coordination of combined breast oncologic and reconstructive cases. Breast surgeons participate in a general tumor board, reinforcing evidence-based care and shared clinical decision-making.
