Job Description

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
