Why join us?

EYEcenter Optometric's mission is to provide the most personalized, distinctive eye care experience in California. Founded in 1960 by Dr. Fred Fuerst, this practice has grown to serve the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Nevada Foothills communities. The combination of cutting‑edge technologies and a caring team of professionals has fueled this practice's expansion in Northern California, with locations in Citrus Heights, Folsom, Gold River, Rocklin, and Midtown Sacramento. To support ongoing business growth, EYEcenter Optometric is seeking two full‑time Optometrists.

What You'll Do

As a valued member of the EYEcenter Optometric team, you'll practice in a modern, state‑of‑the‑art clinic serving the diverse Sacramento area community, providing comprehensive eye care to patients of all ages and conditions. You'll utilize advanced diagnostic technology, including retinal cameras, OCT, visual fields, and automated refracting systems, while supported by a highly trained team. This is a full‑time position, working five days a week for a total of 40 hours. Locations and hours will vary, with coverage across ECO Citrus Heights, ECO Gold River, ECO Folsom, ECO Rocklin, and ECO Sacramento. You'll have the opportunity to educate patients about ocular health and recommend vision‑enhancing solutions, all while working in a collaborative and innovative environment.

Who You Are

You're an ambitious and compassionate Optometrist who strives to consistently exceed patient expectations while providing personalized and individualized care to ensure excellent eye health and vision care. You enjoy caring for a diverse patient population, and you're an excellent listener who genuinely cares about patients. You consistently stay up‑to‑date with industry trends, new products, and lens technologies to ensure patients are aware of the visual solutions that will meet their individual needs. This position is open to both recent graduates and experienced professionals. The practice is also offering competitive benefits, including medical insurance, paid time off, production bonus, malpractice insurance, continuing education allowance, and a relocation stipend.

Why You'll Love Sacramento

Located in America's farm‑to‑fork capital, Sacramento offers local artisanal coffee and craft brews, picturesque neighborhoods, freshwater rivers and lakes, and culturally rich activities and events. One of its greatest advantages is the ideal weather—hot summers with low humidity and cool nights, plus mild winters and subtle weather changes that allow the changing of seasons. Its proximity to some of California's most visited destinations—Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Napa, Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz, and Yosemite, to name a few—makes it an ideal place to call home.
