Akre & Clark Family Eyecare is looking for a compassionate, motivated optometrist to join our doctor-owned private practice — just 2 to 3 days a week. New grad craving mentorship? Experienced doc craving flexibility? Either way, let's talk.

Rural private practice isn't a scaled-down version of optometry — it's a different, better way to practice. For more than 75 years, we've built lasting patient relationships through genuine care, advanced technology, and comprehensive eye care. Our philosophy is simple: take great care of your team, and they'll take even better care of your patients.

● Diagnose and manage ocular disease

● Fit contact lenses — including specialty lenses, if you're interested

● Educate patients on their ocular and overall health

● Work alongside a clinical team as committed to great care as you are

Who We're Looking For

Someone who:
