Job description
Ophthalmology Opening in Beautiful Lexington, Kentucky
Lexington Clinic is seeking a full-time Ophthalmology physician to join a well-established group practice in Lexington, Kentucky.
This is an extremely unique position: There are very few practice models where you can own your practice and still have the stability of an organization to manage the business side of operations for you.
The leadership team's purpose and goal at Lexington Clinic is to facilitate and make physicians' day-to-day lives easier and to preserve the last bit of autonomy they have in practicing medicine.
Our CEO is a physician who practiced medicine in a private equity-owned environment for many years. That experience inspired him to never want to work in that model again. He flipped that model upside down at Lexington Clinic physicians are at the top of the pyramid. We feel if physicians are fulfilled and happy in their careers, that will translate into exceptional patient care.
Position Highlights: $150K signing / retention bonus available for full-time positions
2-year base guarantee plus potential quarterly bonuses
Moving allowance and relocation assistance
Existing patient base with an excellent payer mix
Physician owned with partnership track and the opportunity to purchase stock shares

Excellent specialty care partners with a large internal referral base of more than 30 specialties
Collaborative environment with experienced support staff and strong mentorship
Enviable call schedule for a balanced lifestyle
Competitive compensation with significant earning potential
What We Offer: Competitive salary guarantee with potential production-driven quarterly bonuses
Partnership pathway with the opportunity to own your practice
Autonomy to manage your practice within our supportive physician-led framework
Comprehensive benefits package including health and dental insurance, 401(k), independent and dependent life coverage, short- and long-term disability, long-term care coverage, vacation and CME time, CME stipend, and a flexible spending account
