What You'll Do

As a full-time floater Optometrist working Monday through Friday from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m., you’ll provide essential coverage across all six practice locations, supporting vacations, leaves of absence, and staffing needs while maintaining continuity of patient care.

You’ll provide comprehensive optometric care across multiple Oregon practice locations, performing thorough eye examinations, diagnosing and managing ocular conditions, and helping each patient find visual solutions that support their eye health, lifestyle, and overall experience.

This role offers variety in your day-to-day work as you care for diverse patient populations, adapt to different practice environments, travel between assigned locations based on scheduling needs, and navigate multiple office workflows or electronic health record systems when applicable.

Along the way, you’ll gain broader clinical experience, strengthen your problem-solving skills, collaborate with different teams and leaders, and build connections with a larger network of colleagues and healthcare professionals—all while enjoying benefits such as a sign-on bonus, tuition reimbursement, medical insurance, paid time off, production bonus opportunities, malpractice insurance, and a continuing education allowance.

Who You Are

You’re a compassionate, adaptable Optometrist who brings strong clinical expertise, sound judgment, and a patient-first approach to every exam.

The ideal candidate is licensed in Oregon, residency-trained, and has at least two years of prior experience, along with the flexibility to adjust to varying patient volumes, team needs, office workflows, and practice environments while staying current on industry trends, new products, and lens technologies. New graduates are encouraged to apply!

Why You'll Love Oregon
