Ophthalmology Central Alabama

$700K, Cataract-Heavy Partnership & ASC Ownership

Retirement-driven opening with no call, strong referrals, and high surgical volume.

Job ID: OPH-0032

Search Activated: February 2026

The Opportunity

This is a cataract-forward comprehensive ophthalmology role with an established, multi-location private ophthalmology group (corporate support included), known for a collegial culture and unusually strong physician retention. The clinic runs like a well-oiled machine: scribes handle documentation so physicians can stay focused on patient care, not keyboard time.

The position is open due to planned succession: the current physician is glaucoma-heavy and will begin scaling back in September 2026, with full retirement planned for May 2027. The team is hiring now to ensure a smooth ramp, protect surgical access, and capture unmet cataract demand.

Why This Role?

  • Culture & Autonomy: 100% opthalmologist retention, strong internal referral dynamics
  • High-Efficiency Workflow: 3-8 COA-certified scribes & techs per physician who perform all charting
  • Scope + Surgical Volume: Cataract-forward mix (70%–80% cataracts) with 2,000+ cataracts/year supported by market demand
  • Smooth Transition: Planned succession timeline supports a clean ramp

Financial Package

Base Salary

$450K–$475K + 35% collections

Proven Potential

$700K+

Signing Bonus & Relocation Allowance

$30K + $10K

Partnership Track & ASC Ownership

2 Years

Robust Benefits Package: Health, dental, vision, life, STD/LTD, and malpractice insurance; retirement plan; PTO; CME allowance and CME time off.

Requirements

  • Board Certified / Board Eligible Ophthalmology
  • Strong cataract surgical capability (this is the core need)
  • Strong clinical judgment + patient communication (high-volume only works when quality stays high)
  • Open to early-career or experienced candidates
  • Team-oriented; culture fit matters
