Combined, this makes us an ideal practice for physicians who want to offer their patients an optimal, convenient healthcare experience.

TEG offers a very generous incentive package. Not only would you receive an excellent salary and bonus opportunities, but as a physician-owned practice, the opportunity to become a shareholder exists within the organization. We also offer 401(k) matching and profit sharing, potential commercial real estate, and ASC co-ownership.

The Atlanta region, we are proud to say, is a wonderful part of the country. For those who love nature, Atlanta is located near the Appalachian Trail, Great Smoky Mountains and just a few hours from the beach. For sports fans, we are home to the World Series Champions Atlanta Braves, the NFL Falcons, the NBA Hawks, MLS United FC, and several minor league sports teams. Atlanta also has a variety of cultural venues, from museums to theaters. There is also a multitude of casual social venues where your doctors can spend time with their friends and families. Your spouses won’t have difficulty finding work, either, since the Atlanta region houses the headquarters for Fortune 500 companies such as Home Depot, UPS, and Coca-Cola. No matter what you may be interested in, Atlanta has something for you.
