At AVP•SEES Group, exceptional patient care starts with exceptional people. As one of the largest eye care networks in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, we provide our teams with the training, technology, and support they need to thrive while making a difference in patients' lives. Together, we're building the future of eye care.

To deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients, serve and educate our provider network, and fulfill our commitment to our stakeholders.

About the Role
We are seeking a clinically excellent cataract and anterior segment surgeon to join a medically focused, referral-driven ophthalmology practice. This role is designed for a surgeon who values high-quality outcomes, sound surgical judgment, and collaborative care, and who functions as a trusted partner to optometrists, colleagues, and the broader medical community.
While fellowship training in cornea, glaucoma, or anterior segment is preferred, it is not required. The defining characteristic of this role is not subspecialty labeling, but clinical maturity, consistency, and professionalism in surgical and medical decision-making.

Maintain high standards of clinical excellence and surgical integrity
Communicate clearly and respectfully with patients, optometrists, and referring physicians
Foster a culture of collaboration and mutual trust within a multidisciplinary team
Support shared-care models where appropriate that prioritize patient outcomes and continuity
Contribute positively to clinical quality initiatives and peer development
Community Engagement & Professional Presence
This position extends beyond the operating room. Successful candidates actively build and sustain a strong professional reputation through:
Engagement with referring optometrists and medical providers
Participation in professional meetings, education, and outreach activities
Leadership or involvement in local, regional, or specialty organizations
Speaking engagements, teaching, or mentorship when appropriate
The surgeon serves as both a clinical leader and ambassador for collaborative, patient-centered eye care.
