Optometrist

Marshall B. Ketchum University, Irvine, CA, United States


About the Opportunity
We are a growing ophthalmology-focused practice seeking a licensed Optometrist to join our team in Orange County and Los Angeles County. This role is centered on clinical care and surgical co-management, working closely with ophthalmologists in a collaborative, team-based environment.
