About this role

Nurse Practitioner (Neurology - Movement Disorder)
Overview & Highlights
Location: Ahwatukee, AZ
Schedule: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Compensation: $120,000 – $170,000 annually
Work Environment: Outpatient neurology clinic serving adult patients with movement disorders
Coverage Model or Hours: Structured clinic schedule with protected visit times

About the Opportunity / A Day in the Life
This is a focused outpatient neurology role centered on caring for patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, and related conditions. You’ll manage a consistent daily patient panel of approximately 12 patients, allowing for thoughtful, in-depth clinical care without the pressure of high-volume throughput.
Your day will include a mix of new patient evaluations and follow-up visits, with time built in to thoroughly assess symptoms, adjust treatment plans, and provide education to patients and families. You’ll work closely with a neurology team while maintaining a high level of autonomy in patient management.
This setting offers a steady, predictable workflow with a strong emphasis on continuity of care. You’ll have the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients while contributing to meaningful improvements in quality of life for a complex and often underserved patient population.

Specialized focus in movement disorders with meaningful clinical impact
Outpatient-only setting with a predictable weekday schedule

No travel requirements and stable, on-site workflow
