Description
Who We Are
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.
Our Mission
To deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients, serve and educate our provider network, and fulfill our commitment to our stakeholders.
Why Join Us? This opportunity provides a provider with:
An established and growing referral network
Strong relationships with community optometrists
Existing patient demand
A clear path to building a full practice within approximately six to twelve months
Access to multiple clinical locations and established surgery centers
Experienced clinical and operational support
A collaborative, physician-led care environment
The opportunity to build a lasting professional presence in the market
About the Role
This optometrist practices in a medically focused, referral-driven model and does not generally provide routine primary eye care. The role is designed for clinicians who function as trusted medical partners—both to ophthalmologists within the organization and to referring optometrists in the community.
These optometrists manage a broad spectrum of medical eye disease and play a key role in pre- and post-operative care, delivering consistent, high-quality clinical judgment that referring physicians can rely on with confidence.
What You'll Do
Clinical Scope
Clinical decision-making is emphasized, with an expectation of appropriate escalation, collaboration, and documentation that supports seamless shared care. The position involves comprehensive medical eye care, including but not limited to:
Pre-operative evaluation and counseling for cataract and refractive surgery
Post-operative management of surgical patients
Diagnosis and management of glaucoma, including longitudinal care and escalation when appropriate
Management of ocular surface disease, including dry eye and inflammatory conditions
Evaluation and treatment of common medical eye conditions encountered in a specialty practice setting
Professional Expectations
Referring physicians should feel confident that patients shared into this model receive thoughtful, high-quality care consistent with specialty practice standards. Optometrists in this role are expected to:
Demonstrate strong training and sound clinical judgment
Communicate effectively with patients, surgeons, and referring providers
Function independently while collaborating closely within a multidisciplinary care team
Uphold high standards of professionalism, ethics, and patient advocacy
Community Engagement & Professional Presence
This role extends beyond the clinic. Successful candidates actively build and maintain a strong professional reputation through:
Engagement with referring optometrists and healthcare professionals
Participation in community and professional meetings
Leadership involvement in local or regional professional organizations
Speaking engagements, education, or clinical outreach initiatives when appropriate
The optometrist serves as both a clinician and an ambassador for collaborative care within the region.
Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal optometrist for this position:
Is medically focused and comfortable managing complex eye disease
Values collaboration and long-term professional relationships
Is respected by peers for judgment, communication, and integrity
Seeks a role centered on medical care, not retail or primary eye care
Is motivated to contribute to the growth, reputation, and clinical excellence of the practice
