Optometrist

At Dr. Joel’s Family Eye Care Center, we protect a rare and vanishing dynamic in modern healthcare: the 30-minute patient slot. We refuse to run an optical assembly line. Located in New Haven, Connecticut, our independent practice is built for clinicians who want to practice full-scope medical and refractive optometry the way it was meant to be—with time to look up from the screen, look at the patient, and make a real impact.

Why This is Different From Your Average OD Gig

• Time to Care : Say goodbye to triple-booked columns and burnout. You control your workflow and get the time needed to thoroughly manage complex cases and build real patient relationships.
• Clinical Freedom : You have the ultimate say in patient care. Whether you want to expand our specialty contact lens fittings, build out dry eye therapies, or focus on pediatric myopia management, we provide the autonomy to grow your niche.
• Tech That Supports You : Work in a modern, streamlined clinic equipped with high-tier diagnostic tech (OCT, digital retinal imaging) so you can make confident medical decisions every day.
• The "No Drama" Guarantee : Join a highly trained, proactive support staff that handles pre-testing, insurance verification, and billing seamlessly, allowing you to focus entirely on being a doctor.( Okay maybe a little drama)

The Package

• Highly Competitive Base Salary : Lucrative compensation that respects your expertise, plus straightforward, ethical performance bonuses.
• True Work-Life Balance : Flexible full- or part-time scheduling with no grueling late-night shifts and rotating, light weekend hours.
• Comprehensive Benefits : Full health, generous paid time off, and fully covered malpractice insurance.
• Growth and Mentorship : Paid CE credits and state licensing fees. New graduates will find a supportive, non-competitive environment to master their clinical rhythm.
