Detailed Job Information

Job Type: FT

FYiDoctors Ladysmith has a fantastic opportunity for an Optometrist to join our clinic. We are renovating our space due to patient demand and adding an additional exam lane.

Because of this renovation, we are excited to offer a full-time Monday through Friday OD practice opportunity. We are flexible with scheduling, so if the incoming doctor prefers to work 2 or 3 days, we can accommodate that as well. Our clinic in Ladysmith is part of a group of clinics which includes practices in Nanaimo and Parksville.

The team across these 3 clinics shares support staff, and there is an opportunity for a schedule split across the group if desired. The OD team in Ladysmith currently consists of 2 ODs.

Our doctors practice full scope Optometry with some specialty dry eye management equipment, and the clinic serves a diverse patient base with elderly patients and young families. Because there is no local Ophthalmologist in Ladysmith, the practice manages a lot of patient disease. The ODs are well supported by a talented and experienced pretesting and dispensing team providing an excellent patient experience.

Our ODs in Nanaimo currently book on a 30-minute exam schedule; however, we can be flexible for a new OD joining and accommodate their preferred scheduling.
