About the Area

Situated in the San Fernando Valley among the world's major movie studios, Panorama City provides a central location for working families to enjoy a suburban lifestyle while still feeling close to the modern metropolitan conveniences of LA. Major freeways, Hollywood Burbank Airport, and public transportation make this location accessible and easily commutable.

Working Here

At Panorama City there is a deep focus on continuous variety, learning, and new challenges.

To keep things fresh and enhance outcomes, our leadership takes an active role in connecting physicians with their interests, whether in specialties, initiatives at the medical center, community involvement, or in growth and leadership opportunities.

A culture of kindness has created a warmth among “Pan City” physicians; there is a distinct joy and gratification in coming to work. This collegiality is a constant: due to our smaller size, physicians are able to meet each Friday, discussing new ideas and how to improve services.

New hires are quickly integrated and supported, both professionally and personally. Taken together, Pan City’s attributes have enabled a cohesive, high-functioning team that expertly serves a diverse—and very appreciative—patient population.

Equal Employment Opportunity

External hires must pass a background check/drug screen. Qualified applicants with arrest and/or conviction records will be considered for employment in a manner consistent with Federal, state and local laws, including but not limited to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, protected veteran, or disability status.

Key Responsibilities

Provide exceptional medical retina care to a diverse patient population within the Southern California Permanente Medical Group. Participate in team meetings, contribute to organizational initiatives, and engage in continuous learning and professional growth.

Requirements

Candidates must be Board Certified or Board Eligible in Ophthalmology. The role requires a commitment to high-quality patient care and the ability to integrate into a cohesive, collaborative medical team.
