• Dedicated Pediatric exam lanes and waiting room
• Support from PA-C
• Multiple operating platforms including new ASC and 2 hospitals based operating rooms

There is a large pediatric ophthalmology patient with established referral patterns for a candidate to easily hit the ground running with a busy clinical and surgical practice.  A great place to work with collaborative colleagues and great staff.
