Job description

At our practice, we believe that the optometrist is the hero of primary eye care, enabling and safeguarding their patient’s ability to experience his or her best vision. For many people, an optometrist is also the first point of contact into the healthcare system. The eyes can offer a window into overall health, and thus this first touch point can be critical for patients getting the care they need for serious conditions. We don’t take that responsibility lightly, which is why we empower our optometrists to provide the highest quality of care.

We offer competitive part-time benefits that demonstrate how much we value optometrists, ensuring that the financial, health, and well-being needs of doctors are met.

Financial Benefits

  • Competitive pay and bonus potential (up to thirty thousand dollars per year)
  • Professional liability insurance coverage
  • Retirement savings programs with employer match
  • Personal financial wellness and planning services

Health & Wellness Benefits

  • No on-call or late evening hours
  • Paid Sick Time
  • Paid FMLA leave of absence
  • Paid parental leave

Primary care is more than prescribing contacts and eyeglasses. Our optometrists report seeing a high amount of anterior and posterior segment pathology in their practices. They manage ocular disease to their comfort level, including but not limited to:

  • Treating corneal ulcers and uveitis
  • Red eye
  • Diagnosing diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma
  • Removal of foreign bodies
  • Diagnosing macular disease, retinal holes and retinal detachments
