Job Description

Optometrist (O.D.) — Associate | Bluebird Vision + Wellness | Blackfoot, Idaho

This isn't a job. It's an opportunity to build something.

Bluebird Vision + Wellness has grown 5x in revenue over the past 17 years — not through corporate backing or private equity, but through exceptional care, smart systems, and a team that's genuinely invested. We're debt-free, growing, and ready to bring on an associate OD who wants to practice at a high level and grow with us.

If you're tired of being a production number at a corporate chain — or you're a new grad who wants to learn from an experienced OD-owner in a practice that runs like a real business — this is worth a serious look.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Providing comprehensive primary eye care for a loyal, established patient base — families, professionals, and patients who value their long-term vision health
• Practicing alongside an experienced OD-owner and an existing associate, with full access to cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment technology
• Developing clinical depth in specialty areas: dry eye treatment (RF + IPL), myopia control, specialty contact lenses, and advanced medical eye care
• Enjoying a clean Monday–Friday schedule with no weekends

The Technology Is Real

We've invested in tools that let you practice at the top of your license:

• Optos ultra-widefield retinal imaging
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
• Corneal topography and meibography
• Radiofrequency and IPL for dry eye treatment
• Cloud-based EHR for efficient, modern documentation

Compensation & Benefits

• $100,000–$120,000 base salary OR 18% of production — whichever is higher. Commensurate with experience.
• IRA with employer matching
• Annual continuing education allowance
• Professional liability insurance covered
• Idaho state licensing fees covered
• Mentorship from an OD-owner with 17 years of practice ownership experience
• A practice culture where your input actually matters

Who We're Looking For

• O.D. degree required; current Idaho licensure or ability to obtain
• New grads and experienced ODs both welcome and encouraged to apply
• Patient-centered, strong communicator, collaborative — someone who wants to grow, not just clock in
• Willing to relocate to Blackfoot or the greater Southeast Idaho area

Why Blackfoot, Idaho?

Southeast Idaho is one of the most underrated places to build a life and a career:

• 2–3 hours from Yellowstone, 3–4 from Grand Teton
• Snake River fishing, skiing, hiking, mountain biking — outdoor recreation at your doorstep
• One of Idaho's fastest-growing regions with 15–20% projected population growth
• Low cost of living — your salary goes significantly further than in metro markets
• Excellent schools, safe neighborhoods, tight-knit community
• 30 minutes from Idaho Falls for additional shopping, dining, and entertainment
