Optometrist JobBellevue, WA
Why You'll Love This Job
We are a family owned specialty optometry clinic with a strong focus on myopia management, binocular vision, dry eye and custom contact lenses. Patients come to us because they want deeper answers, more time with their doctor and a personalized care plan they can trust. As our optometrist, you’ll be working in an environment built for thoughtful, medically focused care rather than high volume refractions.
You’ll collaborate with a skilled team of technicians, opticians and fellow providers who value accuracy, education and long term patient outcomes. Your work directly supports our mission to enrich people’s lives so they can reach their full potential.
We believe in meaningful work and a balanced life. We protect weekends for family and personal time, so our clinic operates Monday through Friday only. Our typical workday runs from 8:40 to 5:15. As a family owned clinic, we prioritize a culture where people feel supported, valued and given the tools to do their best work. Doctors also enjoy generous in house perks on services and products, which is especially helpful in a specialty driven setting.
If you’re looking for a clinic where your training is valued, your ideas matter and your work genuinely changes lives, this is a great place to build your career.
