Job Description:

Background: OK, youve looked at numerous opportunities by now and they all say pretty much the same thing. This practice is not your typical optometric model, i.e. refracting, fitting contact lenses, selling glasses and occasionally managing eye disease. No, it is a dream for the practitioner who really wants to utilize their ophthalmic diagnostic and therapeutic skill sets! During the last nine years, I have grown and cultivated an incredible pathology-based practice with a reputation of providing outstanding vision care in the Coastal Bend of Texas. The majority of patients seen on a daily basis require treatment or have a medically billable condition. You will be practicing as an Optometric Physician. We (the team) have nourished an excellent referral base from the local PCPs as well as becoming the primary ECP for our local Code-3 Emergency Room. We refer and co-manage all aspects of ocular pathology with outstanding specialists in Corpus Christi, Houston, San Antonio and Austin, Texas. Demographics: The demographics of this community consists of a high percentage of seniors along with a large winter Texan (retired) population. As a result, we diagnose, manage and co-manage a significant amount of ocular pathology: Diabetes ARMD Glaucoma Retinal disease External eye disease Foreign bodies We have a strong contact lens practice (including a high number of multifocal fittings) as well as a large adult practice population. Pediatric vision care and vision therapy have not been offered to date, but there is opportunity to grow these two disciplines, The office: This is a hybrid setting, having been transformed into a very attractive and modern office. The practice is owned by an ophthalmologist and serves as his satellite location in a WalMart. Any preconceived notion about a commercial office is instantly negated upon entry. We have modern decor, tasteful furnishings (desks, cabinets), coastal wall art and wood-grained flooring. Our records are managed with Practice Director EMR and stored on a local business grade server with multiple backup redundancy. The two exam rooms function with business class desktop CPUs and all diagnostic instrumentation (Zeiss OCT w/Angioplex, Zeiss VISUCAM Pro NM w/FAF, OCULUS easyfield, Topcon Autorefractor/Keratometer) is fully networked with the eye lane computers. Responsibilities: The new practitioner will manage the office on a daily basis and work closely with the ophthalmologist who owns the practice (whose primary clone is in Corpus Christi). He/she will examine patients in a warm, friendly environment, interact with a remarkable staff and write prescriptions: pharmaceutical, spectacles and contact lenses. We have established excellent referral relationships with ophthalmogists in all specialties: oculoplastics, retinal, corneal, cataracts and glaucoma. The Staff: Our team consists of one part-time optometrist, one part-time, short term (1 year), two full-time, long term (9 years and 7 years) professionals who are mature and highly skilled. This staff interacts extremely well with patients, as well as with each other. A very lucrative compensation, bonus and plus health insurance plan is offered. Our community: Rockport is a gorgeous coastal, gulf city town nationally known for its salt-water bay and gulf fishing, its rich birdlife, museums, mansions and as a world-class art community. It is very easy to integrate into this very active and progressive community that readily embraces newcomers. In 2012, Coastal Living Magazine named Rockport in the Top 10 Coastal Communities in which to live. Just picture yourself living in a community free from the stresses of a big city, a commute time of minutes (not hours) and being able to embrace such a mix of cultural and recreational offerings!
