Ophthalmologist – Comprehensive Cataract Surgeon or Any Specialty – Full-Time – New York
Locations: East Setauket & Wading River, NY
Sign-On Bonus Available
A highly respected, physician-led ophthalmology group in New York is seeking a Comprehensive Ophthalmologist, Cataract Surgeon, or Subspecialist to join its expanding team across East Setauket and Wading River on Long Island.
This is an excellent 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 role offers strong mentorship, advanced surgical exposure, and long-term partnership potential within a collaborative, physician-led environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Immediate Volume & Established Referral Base
Join a high-demand practice with strong community reputation and established referral patterns. Physicians benefit from immediate access to a busy cataract-focused surgical schedule and consistent new patient flow.
Balanced Subspecialty Exposure
This role offers a strong comprehensive foundation with additional exposure to:
- High-volume cataract surgery
- Select cornea and LASIK cases
- Comprehensive ophthalmology
Complex pediatric and neuro-ophthalmology cases are primarily referred out, allowing physicians to focus on efficient, high-quality anterior segment care.
Physician-Led, Collaborative Environment
This MD/OD collaborative practice is designed to support physician success while maintaining a strong focus on patient care and efficiency.
You’ll benefit from:
- Dedicated technicians and scribes
- State-of-the-art ophthalmic technology
- Streamlined clinical workflows
- Strong physician support team
- Collaborative, patient-centered culture
- Mentorship from experienced surgeons
Mentorship & Career Development
Mentorship opportunities are readily available for newer physicians seeking structured guidance in both clinical and surgical development, while experienced physicians will find autonomy and leadership opportunities.
Advanced Technology
Modern facilities equipped with advanced diagnostic and surgical technology designed to optimize efficiency and patient outcomes.
Clinical Autonomy
Enjoy independence in your practice while collaborating within a supportive, multidisciplinary team that values physician input and expertise.
Long-Term Growth Potential
Equity partnership opportunities may be available within the first few years, along with leadership development and involvement in practice growth initiatives.
What You’ll Do
- Provide comprehensive ophthalmic care to a diverse patient population
- Perform cataract evaluations and surgery
- Manage ocular disease within a comprehensive practice setting
- Participate in select cornea and LASIK procedures as applicable
- Collaborate closely with ophthalmologists, optometrists, and clinical staff
- Build long-term patient relationships within a growing regional practice
What We’re Looking For
- MD or DO degree with completion of Ophthalmology residency
- Board-certified or board-eligible
- Strong clinical and surgical skills
- Fellowship training not required but welcomed depending on interest
- Patient-focused and team-oriented mindset
Both experienced physicians 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
- Malpractice coverage
- CME allowance
- Paid time off
- Relocation assistance
Why Eastern Long Island?
East Setauket and Wading River offer a desirable mix of coastal living, strong school systems, suburban comfort, and easy access to both New York City and the North Fork’s beaches, wineries, and outdoor recreation.
