Neonatologist Opportunity – Work‑Life Balance, Supportive Team, and Hands‑On Clinical Practice

Pediatrix Medical Group | Lexington, KY

Pediatrix Medical Group is seeking a compassionate, team‑oriented Neonatologist to join our collaborative practice in beautiful Lexington, Kentucky. This position is ideal for both experienced physicians and new graduates looking for a clinically engaging role with a strong emphasis on work‑life balance, procedural skill maintenance, and collegial support.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• 32‑bed Level III NICU with a busy newborn nursery service
• ~4,000 annual deliveries
• Daytime coverage: 2 Neonatologists + 2 Neonatal Nurse Practitioners (NNPs)
• Night coverage: Home call supported by 24/7 in‑house NNP coverage
• A supportive, team‑first culture that values communication, mentorship, and collaboration
• Competitive compensation, including sign‑on bonus and relocation assistance

A Role Designed for Balance & Professional Growth

• Predictable daytime schedule with home‑based night call
• Strong, experienced NNP team ensuring seamless care
• Opportunities for hands‑on procedures to maintain and grow neonatal clinical skills
• Ideal for new graduates seeking mentorship and nurturing early‑career development

Why You’ll Love Lexington

• A vibrant city with small‑town warmth and big‑city amenities
• Home to the University of Kentucky, with rich arts, sports, and culinary scenes
• Easy access to stunning outdoor destinations—Red River Gorge, Raven Run, The Pinnacles
• Close to Mammoth Cave National Park and other ideal weekend escapes
• Known for equestrian culture, southern hospitality, and affordable living
