We are seeking a skilled and passionate Doctor of Optometry (OD) to join a premier, fast-growing national eye care organization in Norwalk, OH. This position offers a unique blend of corporate stability and private-practice style clinical autonomy.

Situated just 20 minutes south of Lake Erie and Sandusky, Norwalk combines small-town warmth with quick connectivity to Cleveland, Akron, and Toledo.

Organization Overview

Our high-end, well-equipped practice group is a leader in primary care, committed to a model that prioritizes the doctor-patient relationship. By handling the administrative, operational, and marketing complexities, our organization ensures that its providers can dedicate their full attention to clinical excellence.

The practice environment is collaborative and high-energy, featuring modern diagnostic equipment, an established patient base, and a fully trained technical team. It is an ideal setting for both seasoned providers and new graduates looking for a supportive infrastructure, specialized peer mentorship, and a strong community presence.

• Competitive Base Salary: Highly competitive guaranteed base salary with zero fixed caps.
