Dominant market presence in a 500,000+ population metro area, with 7 fellowship-trained subspecialists, 5 comprehensive ophthalmologists, and 7 optometrists across 5 clinic locations. Board-certified subspecialty coverage includes part-time oculoplastics, retina, cornea, pediatrics, and glaucoma.

Schedule & Call

Predictable weekly schedule with most Friday afternoons off. Minimal call obligations. Short commutes between office locations in Bettendorf, IA and Rock Island, IL.

Located in the Quad Cities

This midwestern metro area offers an exceptional quality of life: affordable cost of living, top-rated schools, and a 16-minute average commute. The region provides year-round recreation along the Mississippi River, championship golf, a nationally recognized running and cycling culture, and a vibrant arts and dining scene.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon

• Fellowship-trained
• Board-certified/eligible

Our current part‑time coverage does not keep pace with referral volume, creating an immediate opening for a surgeon ready to make their mark. Beyond reconstructive cases, you'll have the chance to build and lead our aesthetic services division from the ground up. Come prepared for high-volume practice from the start.
