Physician Assistant

Description

Make a Visible Difference in Patients’ Lives-Every Day

Active California PA-C Required.

We welcome candidates new to ophthalmology and offer a robust, step-by-step training program to support your growth. We are a growing, physician-led ophthalmology practice committed to delivering exceptional eye care while building a workplace where clinicians can do their best work. We’re seeking a Physician Assistant who is energized by hands-on patient care, procedural work, and being part of a collaborative, high-performing clinical team.

If you’re looking for a role where your skills are fully utilized and your work directly improves patients’ quality of life, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do

As a Physician Assistant in our practice, you’ll play a vital role in both direct patient care and in-office procedures, working closely with our ophthalmologists and clinical staff. 

Responsibilities include:

• Evaluate and manage patients in clinic, including history, exams, diagnosis, and treatment planning
• Perform ophthalmic procedures consistent with training and scope of practice
• Assist physicians with in-office and surgical procedures as needed
• Provide patient education, counseling, and follow-up care
• Document care accurately and efficiently in the electronic medical record
• Collaborate with physicians, technicians, and support staff to ensure a seamless patient experience
• Contribute to a culture of quality, efficiency, and compassionate care

What Makes This Role Special

• Procedural, hands-on work - this is not a purely administrative or routine follow-up role
• True physician partnership - you’ll work side-by-side with experienced ophthalmologists
• High-quality practice environment with strong systems, support staff, and a commitment to clinical excellence
• Opportunity to grow your ophthalmology expertise over time
• Stable, well-established organization with a patient-first mission

What We’re Looking For

• Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) with an active California state license
• No prior ophthalmology experience required. We welcome candidates from all clinical backgrounds, including new graduates. Comprehensive, physician-led training will be provided to support your transition into ophthalmology and help you develop expertise in the specialty.
• Strong clinical judgment, attention to detail, and procedural aptitude
• Excellent communication skills and a patient-centered mindset
• A collaborative, adaptable professional who thrives in a team environment

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and benefits package
• Training and mentorship in ophthalmic care and procedures
• Supportive leadership
• A role where your work is meaningful, visible, and valued
