Job description

Comprehensive Job Opportunity in Denver, Colorado

Our long-established, comprehensive practice currently includes three providers: one ophthalmologist and two optometrists. We are located in the Cherry Creek Eye Center in Denver—a central, easily accessible location. Our building houses six other providers and features a shared, physician-owned optical on the first floor and ophthalmic lab on the second floor.

We utilize state-of-the-art, in-house equipment, including Optos, OCT, VFs, iTrace, Light Adjustable Device, YAG, Argon, and SLT lasers, along with a full range of necessary diagnostic instruments. The medical and surgical side of our practice is busy with a diverse array of pathologies and surgical challenges. Our primary surgical procedures include cataract/RLE surgeries (with a strong emphasis on high-technology IOLs), LASIK, PRK, and refractive procedures. To a lesser extent, MIGS are performed primarily or in conjunction with cataract surgery.

On the optometric side, we focus on dry eye therapies—including IPL treatments, keratoconus management with scleral lenses and corneal cross-linking (CXL), and we maintain a large and active contact lens patient base. The ophthalmologist and optometrists collaborate closely with the optometrists referring surgical candidates and handling most of the postoperative care.

Our team includes several long-time, dedicated staff members who contribute to a supportive and professional work environment. We’re also fortunate to serve a generally pleasant and cooperative patient population.

We offer a competitive salary and workweek, with ample time off to take advantage of the world-class recreational opportunities in the region. This position is ideal for someone who is eager to become an integral part of our community, contribute to the practice’s growth, and pursue a potential partnership opportunity.
