Ophthalmologist – Comprehensive Cataract Surgeon or Subspecialist – Full-Time – New York
Locations: Riverhead, Southampton, & Hampton Bays, 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 the East End of Long Island, including Riverhead, Southampton, and Hampton Bays.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a busy, established patient base with immediate surgical and clinical 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, high surgical exposure, and long-term partnership potential within a collaborative, physician-led environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Immediate Surgical Volume in a High-Demand Market
Join a thriving practice with strong community reputation and established referral networks across the Hamptons and surrounding Long Island communities. Physicians benefit from immediate access to a robust cataract-heavy surgical schedule.
Well-Rounded Surgical Exposure
This role offers a strong mix of:
- High-volume cataract surgery
- LASIK and refractive exposure
- Oculoplastics procedural experience
- Comprehensive ophthalmology
This is an ideal opportunity for a surgeon looking to build or expand a broad anterior segment practice in a high-demand coastal region.
Physician-Led, Collaborative Environment
This highly respected MD/OD group 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
- Efficient, well-established clinical workflows
- Strong physician support team
- Collaborative, patient-centered culture
- Access to experienced surgeons for mentorship
Surgical Access & ASC Advantage
Providers benefit from proximity to an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) with ample block time availability, supporting efficient surgical scheduling and high procedural volume.
Mentorship & Career Development
Mentorship is readily available for newer surgeons looking to transition confidently into practice, while experienced physicians will find strong autonomy and leadership opportunities.
Advanced Technology
Modern facilities equipped with advanced diagnostic and surgical technology designed to optimize efficiency, outcomes, and patient experience.
Clinical Autonomy
Enjoy independence in building your practice while collaborating within a supportive, multidisciplinary team.
Long-Term Growth Potential
Equity partnership opportunities may be available within the first few years, along with leadership development and involvement in practice expansion.
What You’ll Do
- Provide comprehensive ophthalmic care to a diverse patient population
- Perform cataract evaluations and surgery
- Diagnose and manage ocular disease
- Participate in LASIK and oculoplastics procedures as applicable
- Collaborate closely with ophthalmologists, optometrists, and clinical staff
- Build long-term patient relationships in a high-demand regional market
What We’re Looking For
- MD or DO degree with completion of Ophthalmology residency
- Board-certified or board-eligible
- Strong surgical and clinical skills
- Fellowship training not required but welcomed depending on interest
- Patient-focused and team-oriented mindset
Both experienced ophthalmologists and upcoming graduates are encouraged to apply.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary starting at $400,000+
- 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 the Hamptons / East End of Long Island?
Riverhead, Southampton, and Hampton Bays offer a unique blend of coastal living, upscale communities, wineries, beaches, and year-round lifestyle appeal. Physicians enjoy a strong clinical market paired with one of the most desirable regions on the East Coast.
