Why you should apply
This long-standing private practice is committed to excellence in providing a complete eye care experience in a friendly and comfortable environment. As a well-known business in the community, Midtown Eyeworks Optometry has served patients for decades and is now seeking an Optometrist passionate about preserving its legacy service. If you’re a well-rounded professional looking to ditch the traffic jams and join an established practice in the heart of midtown Sacramento, this is the perfect opportunity for you!  
 

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 most significant advantages is the ideal weather—hot summers with low humidity and cool nights, mild winters, and subtle weather changes that allow changing seasons. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the picturesque views from one of the many nearby hiking trails. Its proximity to some of California's most visited destinations—Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Napa, Monterey, Santa Cruz, and Yosemite, to name a few—make it an ideal choice to practice and a prime location to live.  

About Midtown Eyeworks Optometry
Midtown Eyeworks Optometry has served the Sacramento community for 65 years, providing an excellent eye care experience to families and residents. The practice specializes in ocular disease treatment and management, specialty contact lenses, and pediatric eye care. Conveniently located in Sacramento’s vibrant midtown, the practice is easily accessible within walking distance and proximate to coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, and much more. To support long-term practice growth and expand specialty offerings, Midtown Eyeworks Optometry is looking for an Optometrist to join its team of ten staff members.

The practice uses the latest vision care technology to diagnose and treat a wide array of eye diseases and is well-equipped with advanced technology, including Clarus widefield imaging. A highly-skilled staff ensures seamless practice operations, enabling the doctors to care for 16 to 20 patients daily with additional contact lens checks and eye emergencies. The optical boutique offers a wide selection of premium and affordable brands—plus, the Opticians provide personal support to assist customers in selecting the perfect pair of frames for fit and lifestyle. 

About the opening
Midtown Eyeworks Optometry is looking for a full-time or part-time Optometrist to provide the highest level of individualized care two to three days a week. In this role, you will practice primary eye care to ensure excellent eye health and vision care. You will also provide emergency eye care and fit patients for contact lenses—an Optometrist with experience fitting specialty contact lenses will be an asset to the practice, but is not a necessary requirement. This is an excellent opportunity to join an established practice and learn the business strategies of private practice. 

To be successful in this role, you must demonstrate leadership, communication, interpersonal skills, and compassion for patient health and safety. The ideal candidate will want to develop skills through mentorship with experienced doctors and integrate new techniques and innovations that improve patient care and services. 

Minimum qualifications include:

• Optometry license in the state of California
• Specialty contact lens fittings (Desired but not necessary)
