Locations: Bethpage & Rockville Centre, NY

About the Role

A highly respected, physician-led ophthalmology group in New York is seeking a Comprehensive Cataract Surgeon and/or Cornea Specialist to join its growing team. This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a busy, established patient base with immediate clinical and surgical volume due to the upcoming retirement of a long-tenured physician. Whether you are an experienced surgeon or a recent residency/fellowship graduate, this position offers strong mentorship, advanced surgical exposure, and long-term partnership potential within a collaborative and supportive environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Immediate Surgical Volume: Join a thriving practice with strong community demand, established referral patterns, and a robust cataract and anterior segment surgical schedule from day one.
• Collaborative, Physician-Led Environment: This highly respected, patient-centered organization is known for clinical excellence across multiple ophthalmic subspecialties. Physicians are supported by efficient systems and experienced staff, allowing you to focus on patient care and surgical growth.
• You’ll Benefit From:
  • Dedicated technicians and scribes
  • State-of-the-art ophthalmic technology
  • Strong operational and clinical support
  • A collaborative physician-driven culture
  • Mentorship from experienced surgeons

Opportunity Details

This role offers a strong mix of:

• Comprehensive ophthalmology
• High-volume cataract surgery
• Cornea and anterior segment care
• Refractive and surgical collaboration opportunities

This is an excellent opportunity for a physician looking to continue building both cataract and cornea experience within a supportive, high-volume environment.

Mentorship & Career Growth

Mentorship opportunities are available for newer surgeons seeking guidance and surgical development, while experienced physicians will find strong long-term growth and leadership opportunities. Enjoy independence in your practice while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team that values physician input, innovation, and patient-centered care. The group offers a clear path toward equity partnership and leadership opportunities within the practice.
