EyeOptics Optometry Center is a trusted and well-established practice, providing comprehensive eye care services to the Elk Grove community. The practice is currently seeking a full-time Optometrist to join their dedicated team and help continue providing exceptional patient care. If you are a passionate and energetic Optometrist looking for a rewarding career providing patient-centered care, this opportunity is tailor-made for you!

What you'll do:
As a member of the EyeOptics Optometric team, you will have the opportunity to work with a team of dedicated professionals committed to helping individuals achieve their best vision. You'll perform eye exams and surgical co-management, diagnose and assist in treating ocular diseases, prescribe corrective lenses, prescription dispensing, handle eye emergencies, and promote healthy vision through patient education. You'll have access to advanced diagnostic technology to diagnose and treat a wide array of eye diseases. You will work alongside a team of 20 skilled professionals and treat up to 22 patients daily.

Why you'll love Elk Grove:
Located in the heart of Northern California, Elk Grove is a thriving city with a small-town feel, diverse communities, and an abundance of beautiful parks. Just south of America's farm-to-fork capital, Sacramento, Elk Grove is home to an excellent school system and offers unique areas to live and raise a family. One of its greatest advantages is the ideal weather: hot summers with low humidity and cool nights, plus mild winters and subtle weather changes that allow the experience of changing seasons. Elk Grove's proximity to some of California's most visited destinations-Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Napa, Monterey, Santa Cruz, and Yosemite, to name a few-make it an ideal location to practice.
