Top Tier MD Staff places board-certified physicians into US hospitals, health systems and clinics. Locum tenens coverage and direct-hire placements with credentialing-first vetting and one named consultant on every search.
"They sent us a hospitalist who could start in seventy-two hours, fully credentialed, and we extended her into a permanent role within two months."
Three pillars that hold every search together.
State licensure, DEA, board certification, malpractice history, NPDB, work history and references all checked before a CV reaches your inbox. No gaps.
Urgent shift coverage for hospitalists, ER, anesthesia and OB? We hold a deep bench of credentialed locums and can have a physician on-site within three days where state licensure allows.
The consultant who takes your brief is the one who shortlists, manages credentialing, negotiates the offer and follows up post-start. No queue of account managers, no handoffs.

Request PhysiciansClear, credentialing-first, no surprises.
A 30-minute call to capture the specialty, scope, schedule, EMR, salary band, state-licensure status and start date. You get a written confirmation.
We pull from our credentialed bench, verify licensure and certifications, run NPDB and references and hand you a tight, vetted shortlist with availability.
We schedule peer interviews, support negotiation, manage credentialing and privileging and get the malpractice and contracts squared away.
We handle travel, lodging and licensure for locums; for direct-hire, we run day-7 / 30 / 90 follow-ups to keep the placement in seat.
Physician hiring runs on a different clock from the rest of healthcare. State licensure timelines, hospital privileging cycles, malpractice tail coverage, payer credentialing, J-1 and H-1B status, locum-to-perm bridges - any of these can drag a search by months if the agency does not own them. Top Tier MD Staff owns them.
Our locum desk does more than send a CV. We hold the licensure, we book the travel, we square the malpractice tail, and we keep the schedule on track. When the hospital needs a hospitalist on the floor by Monday, the placement happens because we did the credentialing work two weeks before the call.
Most of our hospital partners use locum coverage as a bridge to a permanent hire. We brief candidates honestly about the conversion path, negotiate the bridge contract clearly, and keep both sides aligned through the privileging and payer-enrollment phase.
Physician searches do not respond well to call-center recruiting. The conversation that matters is between a physician thinking about their next ten years and someone who actually understands the role, the EMR, the call schedule and the geography. We staff our desk so one consultant runs the full lifecycle: brief, search, credentialing, offer, onboarding, aftercare.
