Optometrist (OD) Full-Scope Practice in Gaston County, NC

Join a physician-owned 5 MD / 5 OD practice where clinical excellence meets genuine work-life balance. No private equity. No corporate quotas. Just a supportive team, exceptional resources, and a real path to ownership—all 20 minutes from Charlotte.

Why This Role Matters

We built this practice around the belief that great patient care starts with supported providers. You'll practice full-scope optometry with the tools, staff, and referral network to do your best work—while seeing a manageable 20 patients per day. That means time to breathe, connect with patients, and grow alongside colleagues who value what you bring.

What You'll Do

  • Deliver full-scope optometric care to an educated, engaged patient community
  • See a comfortable, well-managed patient load of ~20 per day
  • Collaborate directly with in-house MDs for seamless referrals within your own practice
  • Work across multiple lanes supported by advanced diagnostics
  • Contribute to our dry eye clinic, aesthetic services, and specialty care
  • Learn, teach, and grow with a team of experienced colleagues

What We're Looking For

  • Doctor of Optometry (OD) with an active or obtainable North Carolina license
  • Passion for full-scope, patient-centered care
  • Strong communication skills and a team-first mindset
  • Commitment to clinical quality and the kind of experience that earns 5-star reviews
  • Interest in long-term growth—including future ASC ownership

Bonus Points

  • Experience with dry eye management or aesthetic services
  • History of building lasting patient relationships

The Support Behind You

You won't do it alone. Our practice surrounds every OD with:

  • Skilled technicians and scribes to streamline your day
  • Licensed opticians and trained staff who escort patients between appointments
  • Best-in-class diagnostic equipment: NCT, OCT, Visual Fields, Retinal Imaging, and Auto Refractors
  • Multiple lanes, a full aesthetic and dry eye clinic, and a privately owned ASC

Compensation & Benefits

  • $200K+ earning potential through a competitive base plus incentives
  • Ownership opportunity in our newly built, privately owned ASC
  • A physician-owned environment with no private equity —decisions stay local
  • A culture built on learning, mentorship, and mutual respect

Life in Gaston County

Trade the commute for quality of life. Gaston County offers a peaceful suburban feel with a thriving community of healthcare, finance, and real estate professionals.

  • 20 minutes from Charlotte and everything the city offers
  • Ranked among the top 100 areas for lowest cost of living
  • Excellent schools and welcoming neighborhoods
  • Affordable homeownership and a genuinely livable pace
  • Protected community character— no data centers permitted in the area

Ready to Grow With Us?

If you're an experienced OD looking for balance, autonomy, and a real stake in your future, we'd love to hear from you.

we look forward to welcoming you to the team
