About The Position
Endeavor Health is seeking a fellowship-trained Glaucoma Specialist to join its established and growing Division of Ophthalmology. The role offers the opportunity to develop a high-volume glaucoma practice within the largest multispecialty ophthalmology group on Chicago’s North Shore, supported by an internal referral network, modern infrastructure, and a collaborative, physician-led environment. The group includes 14 ophthalmologists and four optometrists, including nine comprehensive ophthalmologists, many with subspecialty training. The position has significant growth potential and serves a large insured patient population.

The surgical center at Glenbrook Hospital includes Centurion phacoemulsification systems, a ZEPTOLink IOL positioning system, ORA intraoperative aberrometry, Zeiss Artevo microscopes with Callisto, and intraoperative OCT.
