Opportunity Information

Sutter West Bay Medical Group is seeking a full-time, Board Certified/Board Eligible Adult Headache Neurologist to join the largest multispecialty neurology group in the San Francisco Bay Area.
 
This is a unique opportunity to join a well-established and growing Headache program with strong regional referral volume, dedicated support staff, and the ability to shape the future of comprehensive headache care.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Established Headache Program – Join a dedicated team of 3 headache specialists, supported by an experienced NP and clinical staff
  • High Demand, Built-In Volume – Robust referral network across San Francisco, the Bay Area, and Sutter’s Northern California system
  • Procedural Practice – Perform Botox, occipital nerve blocks, SPG blocks, and more
  • Outpatient-Focused with Flexibility – Combine in-person care with telemedicine for longitudinal patient management
  • Modern Practice Setting – Practice in a new medical office building directly across from CPMC Medical Center

Collaborative Neuroscience Environment

Be part of a highly integrated neurology and neuroscience program that includes specialists in:
  • Movement disorders
  • Epilepsy
  • Stroke and neuro-intervention
  • Neuromuscular medicine
  • Dementia and cognitive neurology
  • Neuro-oncology, neuroradiology, and neuropsychology
  • Neurosurgery
Participate in regular neuroscience grand rounds and multidisciplinary case conferences, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous learning.

Clinical Scope & Flexibility

While your primary focus will be headache medicine, you’ll have the opportunity to tailor your practice based on your interests, including:
  • Expanding into community-based headache clinics across the Bay Area
  • Incorporating general neurology
  • Participating in inpatient consults and call (optional/variable based on interest)
  • Engaging in clinical research through the CPMC Neuroscience Research Institute
  • Teaching medical students and residents

Join a Leading Neurology Program

Be part of an organization committed to innovation, collaboration, and delivering exceptional neurological care across Northern California.

Qualifications

• BC/BE Neurologist
• Fellowship and/or board certification in Headache Neurology

Organization Details

Why Sutter Health and Sutter West Bay Medical Group (SWBMG)

 

Sutter Health offers a uniquely physician‑aligned environment, large enough to support innovation and investment, yet local enough to preserve the autonomy, relationships, and purpose that matter to clinicians.

 

SWBMG is a premier multi-specialty medical group made up of over 400 physicians practicing in the greater San Francisco service area. SWBMG works in partnership with Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation (SPMF), a non-profit organization providing care through its affiliation with SWBMG. Physicians work as a team to provide patient-focused care that encourages a sense of teamwork. SPMF provides physicians with an administrative infrastructure, allowing physicians to focus on patient care.

“Sutter Health has a bold vision for brain health,” said President and CEO Warner Thomas. “This new complex represents our commitment to delivering accessible, high-quality care that fuels innovation and brings the highest standards of neurological health closer to home.”
