Job description

Join an established, cutting-edge, independent, non-private-equity ophthalmology practice with growing patient demand. We are principally focused on glaucoma, cataract surgery with a strong premium lens program, cornea, and comprehensive ophthalmology. We are seeking an associate ophthalmologist to join our practice as soon as available.

We offer an exceptional lifestyle, an experienced and supportive staff, and an efficient, rewarding practice centered on outstanding patient care. This is an excellent opportunity for a new physician to build a successful long-term practice.

Ventura is a vibrant Southern California coastal community located on the Pacific Ocean between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. It combines a mild year-round climate with beaches, a working harbor, a walkable historic downtown, excellent restaurants, and immediate access to surfing, sailing, cycling, hiking, and Channel Islands National Park. The Los Padres foothills and nearby communities of Ojai, Camarillo, and Santa Barbara provide a wide range of residential and recreational options. Ventura offers the quality of life of a classic California beach town without the pace and congestion of a major metropolitan area. Combine an exceptional lifestyle with an even better practice opportunity. We offer excellent compensation, no hospital call, and limited practice call. This coastal practice offers an outstanding quality of life for its physicians.

Senior ophthalmologist desires to slow down from a busy, rewarding practice and welcomes a new associate who would inherit a substantial glaucoma practice. He will mentor you in premium cataract surgery and/or glaucoma, if desired. We are seeking a team player who is energetic, motivated, responsible, and personable. Our state-of-the‑art office is located in Ventura, California, in a beautiful, safe, family‑oriented coastal community. The area offers excellent restaurants, beaches, boating, golf, cycling, hiking, and watersports, with a variety of attractive communities throughout Ventura County.

The practice has a large, established patient population for premium cataract surgery and MIGS. Our diagnostic technology includes the two aberrometer and corneal topographer rooms, Lenstar optical biometer, Humphrey Visual Field analyzer, Visionix OCT, Optos Optomap imaging, Canon digital retinal imaging, AdaptDx, Light Adjustable Lens infrastructure, and additional advanced testing.

Our clinical team includes experienced ophthalmologists and optometrists with expertise across glaucoma, cataract surgery, cornea and external disease, and comprehensive eye care. The technician staff are experienced, highly trained and able to provide unsurpassed clinical support to the surgeons. The practice combines long‑standing leadership with a collaborative, patient‑centered approach and is excited to add another ophthalmologist to support continued growth and long‑term succession planning.
