Job Description

Optometrist

Opportunity

Valley Optometric Associates is seeking a full‑time optometrist with a Doctor of Optometry degree and an active Nevada O.D. license (or eligibility for licensure) to join our growing Reno practice.

We’re looking for a compassionate, motivated doctor who takes pride in delivering high‑quality, patient‑centered eye care while working efficiently in a modern clinical environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for both experienced optometrists and recent graduates who are excited to build a long‑term clinical career in a supportive, well‑established practice.

For those relocating to Las Vegas, Nevada, you’ll discover a dynamic city that offers an exciting blend of entertainment, outdoor recreation, and modern amenities.

Known for its year-round sunshine and vibrant energy, Las Vegas provides residents with access to world-class dining, shopping, live entertainment, professional sports, and cultural attractions.

Beyond the famous Strip, the city features welcoming residential communities, family-friendly neighborhoods, and a growing economy with diverse career opportunities.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy nearby destinations such as Red Rock Canyon, Lake Mead, and Mount Charleston, offering hiking, boating, cycling, and scenic escapes just minutes from the city.

Las Vegas also benefits from a relatively affordable cost of living compared to many major metropolitan areas in the West, along with convenient travel access through Harry Reid International Airport.

With its combination of urban convenience, recreational opportunities, and sunny desert lifestyle, Las Vegas is an exceptional place to live, work, and build a long-term future.

About Us

Our experienced team provides comprehensive eye care services, including primary eye exams, contact lens services, medical eye care, and in‑office dry eye treatments.

What You'll Do

In this role, you will provide comprehensive eye care while seeing an average of 14–20 patients per day in a well‑supported clinical environment.

You’ll utilize advanced diagnostic tools such as retinal imaging, visual fields, electronic medical records, online booking, two‑way patient texting, and glaucoma management technologies, including punctal plugs.

This full‑time position offers five days per week of coverage, a competitive base salary with production bonuses, paid malpractice insurance, and PTO following a trial period. You’ll work efficiently while maintaining clinical excellence, accurate documentation, and a positive, patient‑focused experience.
