Part time Optometrist needed for private practice in Coralville, IA.
Aria Eye Care is a cozy optometry practice inside Costco in Coralville, IA. I am seeking a warm, engaging associate to work three days a week with our marvelous patients.
We are located near Iowa City, a UNESCO City of Literature and cool college town. Many of our patients are affiliated with the University of Iowa. Iowa City frequently lands on lists of best places to live due to multiple arts venues, large percentage of population with higher education, interesting bookstores, food and restaurant culture, great quality primary education, reasonable cost of living, and relevance to literary history.
The ideal candidate for this position is a polished professional with excellent clinical skills and a sparkling personality. Our patients have come to expect a personal connection and pleasant experience in addition to thorough ocular health care.
The hours we offer would allow an associate to work elsewhere during the rest of the week if additional experience or income is desirable. There is typically a need in this area for part time and relief optometrists. I would be happy to arrange introductions to my local colleagues who could use help. The extra time could also be devoted to family, art, sports, hobbies, business ventures, and other worthy pursuits.
I have a remarkably friendly staff, which creates a comfortable atmosphere for Doctor and patients alike. The building we are in has free covered parking attached, which is nice in summer and life altering in winter. Our patient base is a fun blend. We see lots of professors, physicians, writers, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, artists, restaurant owners and hospitality professionals from Iowa City. The surrounding area gives us a ton of people from other industries, including manufacturing, academic test development, and farming. There is a widespread draw because of the general enthusiasm people have for Costco, so many of our patients drive two hours or more to get here.
We want to hire an OD who communicates beautifully and engages with each unique patient on a human level. Our patients are wonderful people and we feel a deep connection to this community. Aria Eye Care office culture is friendly and stimulating. We value equality and diversity, and we donate to organizations in support of Arts and Education.
We will be accepting CVs through June.
