Ophthalmologist – Comprehensive Cataract Surgeon / Cornea Specialist – Full-Time – New York
Locations: Bethpage & Rockville Centre, NY
Sign-On Bonus Available
A highly respected, physician-led ophthalmology group in New York is seeking a Comprehensive Cataract Surgeon and/or Cornea Specialist to join its growing team in Bethpage and Rockville Centre.
This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a busy, established patient base with immediate clinical and surgical volume due to the upcoming retirement of a long-tenured physician. Whether you are an experienced surgeon or a recent residency/fellowship graduate, this position offers strong mentorship, advanced surgical exposure, and long-term partnership potential within a collaborative and supportive environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Immediate Surgical Volume
Join a thriving practice with strong community demand, established referral patterns, and a robust cataract and anterior segment surgical schedule from day one.
Collaborative, Physician-Led Environment
This highly respected, patient-centered organization is known for clinical excellence across multiple ophthalmic subspecialties. Physicians are supported by efficient systems and experienced staff, allowing you to focus on patient care and surgical growth.
You’ll benefit from:
- Dedicated technicians and scribes
- State-of-the-art ophthalmic technology
- Strong operational and clinical support
- A collaborative physician-driven culture
- Mentorship from experienced surgeons
Comprehensive & Cornea-Focused Opportunity
This role offers a strong mix of:

- Cornea and anterior segment care
- Refractive and surgical collaboration opportunities
This is an excellent opportunity for a physician looking to continue building both cataract and cornea experience within a supportive, high-volume environment.
Mentorship & Career Growth
Mentorship opportunities are available for newer surgeons seeking guidance and surgical development, while experienced physicians will find strong long-term growth and leadership opportunities.
Clinical Autonomy
Enjoy independence in your practice while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team that values physician input, innovation, and patient-centered care.
Long-Term Partnership Potential
The group offers a clear path toward equity partnership and leadership opportunities within the practice.
What You’ll Do
- Provide comprehensive ophthalmic care to a diverse patient population
- Perform cataract evaluations and surgery
- Diagnose and manage corneal and anterior segment disease
- Collaborate closely with fellow ophthalmologists and clinical teams
- Build long-term patient relationships within an established regional practice
What We’re Looking For
- MD or DO degree with completion of Ophthalmology residency
- Fellowship training in Cornea welcomed, but not required depending on experience
- Board-certified or board-eligible
- Strong surgical and clinical skills
- Patient-focused mindset with a collaborative approach to care
Both experienced surgeons and upcoming graduates are encouraged to apply.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary starting at $350,000+
- Production and performance bonuses
- Sign-on bonus
- Partnership/equity opportunity
- Health, dental, and life insurance
- 401(k) with employer match
