Capstone Recruiting Advisors recruits permanent gastroenterologists — general GI, advanced endoscopy, hepatology and IBD — for independent GI practices, PE-backed GI platforms, multispecialty groups and hospitals. A partner runs every search.
The GI market
- GI openings took a median of 186 days to fill, compared with 118 days across all specialties, according to AAPPR data (Becker’s ASC).
- Only 40.5% of GI searches were filled by the end of 2025 (AAPPR).
- Competition is heavy: at least 15 PE-backed GI management groups are acquiring practices and recruiting nationally, and the average GI starting salary was about $531,000 with sign-on bonuses averaging about $46,000 (Becker’s ASC).
Who we recruit for: independent GI practices · PE-backed GI platforms · multispecialty groups · ASC-affiliated groups · hospitals and health systems.
How we search: we learn your procedure mix, ASC and ancillary model, call and partnership path, then reach gastroenterologists and fellows who fit — and present the ownership upside clearly against hospital and PE offers.
