What We're Looking For

We welcome applications from new graduates and experienced ODs alike - what matters most is who you are as a clinician and a person, not just what's on your CV.

• Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from an accredited institution
• Active Virginia state optometry license (or eligibility to obtain one - new grads encouraged to apply)

• Full medical and dental insurance benefits
• 401(k) plan
