Sign-On Bonus Available
A highly respected, physician-led ophthalmology group in New York is seeking a Comprehensive Ophthalmologist/Cataract Surgeon to join its expanding team in Patchogue and Sayville on Long Island.
This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a high-growth, high-demand practice with immediate patient volume and significant surgical opportunity. Due to overwhelming patient demand, physicians in the practice are currently booked months in advance for both clinic and surgery, creating an ideal environment for a new surgeon to ramp up quickly and build a thriving practice.
Whether you are an experienced surgeon or a recent residency/fellowship graduate, this position offers mentorship, advanced surgical exposure, and long-term partnership potential within a collaborative, physician-led environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Immediate Volume & Rapid Growth Potential
This practice has a 20%+ new patient growth rate, allowing incoming physicians to build volume quickly while benefiting from a strong, established payor mix and referral network.

This opportunity offers exceptional exposure to advanced cataract and refractive procedures, including:

- Perform cataract evaluations and surgery
- Diagnose and manage ocular disease
- Collaborate closely with ophthalmologists, optometrists, and support staff
- Build long-term patient relationships within a rapidly 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
- Patient-focused mindset and collaborative approach to care
Both experienced ophthalmologists and upcoming graduates are encouraged to apply.
