About The Position

The new ophthalmologist will join a busy private practice with an abundant patient base and strong local presence. 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.

- diagnose eye conditions
- treat eye conditions
- work with patients to prevent eye diseases and vision problems

- laser surgery for capsular opacity, diabetes, and glaucoma

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
- scribes
- nurses
- surgery schedulers

The practice has extensive resources and state-of-the-art equipment, including:

- IOLMaster 700
- Cirrus OCT
- Humphrey Visual Field

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