COMPANY PROFILE:
This physician-owned private practice has been serving patients in Grand Island and the surrounding communities since 1999. They operate a main office in Grand Island, as well as smaller satellite offices in the surrounding area to provide convenience for patients and flexibility for providers. They currently have 2 ophthalmologists and a dedicated support staff, serving patients with full-scope ophthalmologic care. They are excited to welcome a new physician to their family-like environment, where they have a strong emphasis on a healthy work/life balance and job satisfaction.

They operate out of a main office in Grand Island, but also have smaller satellite offices in neighboring communities, as well as participation in a nearby multi-specialty surgery center.
A full patient panel will be available immediately, due to the existing wait list and a strong referral base in local optometrists and medical doctors.
Overall duties of the role include, but are not limited to:
- diagnose eye conditions
- treat eye conditions

The current ophthalmologists perform 600 to 800 surgeries per year and see a maximum of 40 patients per standard office day. The actual number of patients per day varies based upon types of appointments scheduled.
Ophthalmologists are highly supported with a team that includes:
- technicians

- surgery schedulers
The practice has extensive resources and state-of-the-art equipment, including:
- IOLMaster 700

The new ophthalmologist will have the option to participate in hospital on-call for an annual stipend.

On-call is scheduled flexibility to ensure minimal impact to work/life balance.
