About The Position

We are actively hiring an experienced Ophthalmic Technician / Scribe to join our growing retina practice. This is not an entry-level technician role. We are looking for an experienced ophthalmic professional whose primary responsibility will be real-time physician scribing and clinical documentation during patient visits, procedures, and treatment discussions.

The remaining portion of the role includes direct patient care support, including workups, diagnostic imaging, and procedural assistance when clinic flow demands it. If you thrive in a fast-paced ophthalmology environment, understand retina terminology, and can document accurately while keeping pace with the physician, we’d love to meet you.
