Ophthalmologist Physician

Why Join Us

Coastal Eye Care is a 29-year-old, two-physician ophthalmology practice with deep roots in Downeast Maine — and they're ready to welcome a third. You'll step into an established, high-volume clinic with a loyal referral network of local ODs and PCPs, an on-site ASC, and immediate surgical volume from day one. The technology is cutting-edge, the team is experienced, and the call schedule is nonexistent — no hospital call, no ER coverage. This is a rare chance to build a meaningful practice without building from scratch.

• Full-time ophthalmology opportunity within a busy, community-anchored two-MD group practice
• 10+ cataract cases per week available in year one, with strong growth trajectory

• 10 exam rooms with experienced technical staff and dedicated scribe support
• ASC located on-site in the same building
