Job Description
Capital Vision Center is looking to add a compassionate Optometrist to join its established practice serving Camp Hill and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This opportunity offers a supportive, patient-centered environment where clinical excellence, meaningful relationships, and high-quality care are valued. You'll join a collaborative team dedicated to improving the vision and well-being of the communities it serves.
Why Join Us?
Established in 1975, Capital Vision Center is a privately owned, full-scope general optometric practice serving South Central Pennsylvania from locations in Camp Hill and Harrisburg.
Its team of 10 full-time and three part-time employees is committed to personalized care, with thoughtfully spaced appointments that allow doctors to build meaningful relationships with their patients.
As the practice grows, its goals are to welcome new associates, provide a trusted home for patients transitioning from retiring local optometrists, and preserve the independence and patient-centered culture that have defined Capital Vision Center for decades.
What You’ll Do
As an Optometrist, you’ll provide comprehensive patient care in a thoughtfully paced environment, working 32–36 hours per week and seeing 15–20 patients per day.
You’ll use advanced diagnostic technology, including a digital phoropter, OCT, ERG, visual field testing, and fundus photography, to support accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.
You’ll also collaborate with the practice team to deliver an exceptional patient experience and connect patients with a high-end optical offering featuring advanced lens technology.
Who You Are
You’re a compassionate and dedicated Optometrist committed to delivering exceptional care to patients of all ages and with diverse visual needs. You combine strong clinical skills with clear communication and a genuine interest in building lasting patient relationships.
You value continuous learning and stay current with advances in optometry and personalized treatment options. You thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with opticians, technicians, and administrative staff to provide seamless care.
Above all, you’re eager to contribute to a positive workplace and support the practice’s continued growth.
