Dr. Anson Tam’s clinic

This established clinic, located within Specsavers Markville Shopping Centre, is seeking an Associate Optometrist for 1 day per week, ideally Saturday. Conversational Cantonese and/or Mandarin is a strong asset.

Supported by a dedicated, patient-focused team, the clinic serves a strong patient base and is committed to delivering high-quality care. This is an excellent opportunity for an optometrist who values clinical autonomy, flexibility, and a relationship-led approach to patient care.

Everything you need to deliver exceptional care

You’ll work alongside passionate professionals who share a commitment to changing lives through better sight. Here, your focus stays where it belongs - in the exam room, delivering thoughtful, patient-centred care, not chasing sales targets.

• The NIDEK Tonoref 3
• NIDEK automated lensometer
• Topcon Maestro2
• NIDEK intelligent refract RT-6100
• S4OPTIK slit lamp
  

A shared commitment to care - be part of a team dedicated to proactive eye health, with OCT available as a standard part of every eye exam

Integrated pre-test support - trained eyecare consultants welcome and guide your patients through pre-testing, with results sent directly to your exam room for your consultation

Clinical autonomy - practice in an independent clinic with the freedom to deliver care your way, supported by Specsavers’ technology and resources

Ongoing development - access dedicated optometry support consultants and annual continuing education opportunities for professional growth

Clinic ownership when you’re ready - develop your business acumen and ability to lead teams.

Compensation

Receive a daily minimum or a percentage billings, whichever amount is higher for each clinic day worked. The expected range for this role is:

Daily minimum of $600 CAD

Percentage of billings: 70%

Final compensation will be determined based on experience and skillset by the independent clinic owner.
