Job description

Optometrist - Full-Time / Part-Time
Dr. Snipes & Associates
Louisville & Lexington, Kentucky
About Dr. Snipes & Associates
Dr. Snipes & Associates is an established, independently owned optometric practice serving Kentucky patients since 1996. We currently operate four locations in Louisville and Lexington:
  • Oxmoor Center - Louisville
  • Fern Creek - Louisville
  • Hamburg Pavilion - Lexington
  • The Summit at Fritz Farm - Lexington

Our practices are located alongside LensCrafters; however, Dr. Snipes & Associates is an independent optometric practice. We maintain our own clinical operations, team, systems, and practice culture, and our optometrists maintain autonomy in the care and treatment of their patients.
We are seeking personable, dependable, and patient-focused Optometrists interested in full-time, part-time, or flexible opportunities within our growing practice.
The Opportunity
Our goal is to give our doctors the resources and support they need to provide excellent patient care while allowing them to practice optometry.
Our ODs provide comprehensive primary eye care with opportunities to diagnose and manage medical conditions within the full scope of optometric practice.
Depending on the needs and interests of the doctor, patient care may include:
  • Comprehensive eye examinations
  • Routine and medical eye care
  • Contact lens examinations and fittings
  • Specialty contact lens fitting, including scleral and hybrid lenses
  • Dry eye evaluation and management
  • Glaucoma evaluation and management
  • Myopia management, including MiSight, Ortho-K, and atropine
  • Cataract and retinal evaluations and appropriate referral/co-management
  • Emergency and problem-focused eye care
  • Punctal plug procedures
  • Human amniotic membrane allograft treatment
  • Appropriate referral and co-management with ophthalmology and other specialists

Our doctors maintain clinical autonomy and are expected to use their professional judgment to determine the most appropriate care for each patient.
Technology & Diagnostic Equipment
We believe our doctors should have access to technology that supports high-quality patient care.
Our practices utilize advanced diagnostic equipment, including:
  • Essilor digital examination equipment
  • Optos Daytona retinal imaging
  • OCT
  • 30-point automated visual field testing
  • RETeval ERG testing

We routinely incorporate advanced imaging and diagnostic testing when clinically appropriate and encourage our doctors to fully utilize the resources available to them.
If there is something our doctors need to provide appropriate patient care that we do not currently have available, we are always willing to explore ways to provide the resources necessary for their success.
What We're Looking For
The right doctor for our practice is someone who combines strong clinical judgment with excellent patient communication.
We are looking for an Optometrist who:
  • Provides compassionate, thorough, patient-centered care
  • Demonstrates sound clinical judgment
  • Communicates effectively with patients, staff, and fellow providers
  • Is comfortable providing both routine and medical eye care
  • Works collaboratively with the clinical and administrative team
  • Maintains accurate and timely patient documentation
  • Utilizes available diagnostic technology appropriately
  • Provides appropriate referrals and follow-up care
  • Is dependable, professional, and accountable
  • Works efficiently while maintaining a high standard of care
  • Contributes positively to the culture of the practice
  • Values teamwork while maintaining independent clinical judgment
Practice Support
Our doctors are supported by an established administrative and clinical team so they can remain focused on patient care.
Dr. Snipes & Associates assists our providers with:
  • Provider credentialing and CAQH
  • Professional liability insurance coverage
  • Clinical and administrative support
  • Diagnostic testing and pretesting support
  • Appointment scheduling and patient communication
  • Contact lens ordering and support
  • Referral coordination
  • Practice management and operational support
Scheduling Opportunities
Because we operate four locations, we are able to offer a variety of scheduling opportunities depending on current practice needs.
Opportunities may include:
  • Full-time
  • Part-time
  • Weekend coverage
  • Temporary or supplemental coverage
  • Opportunities in Louisville, Lexington, or a combination of locations

Schedules are developed in advance, and we work with our doctors to coordinate availability while ensuring appropriate patient coverage throughout the practice.
Qualifications
Candidates must:
  • Hold a Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from an accredited school or college of optometry
  • Hold or be eligible to obtain an active Kentucky optometry license
  • Meet applicable credentialing requirements
  • Maintain appropriate continuing education and licensure requirements
  • Demonstrate professionalism and excellent patient communication skills

New graduates as well as experienced optometrists are encouraged to apply.
Why Dr. Snipes & Associates?
We have been caring for patients for more than 30 years, but we continue to grow and evolve.
Our doctors have the opportunity to work in an established practice with experienced support staff, advanced technology, diverse patient care, and the ability to practice with clinical autonomy.
We want our providers to feel supported-not micromanaged. We believe in giving good doctors the tools and resources they need, communicating openly, and allowing them to use their training and professional judgment to provide excellent care.
If you are looking for an opportunity where you can focus on your patients, broaden your clinical experience, and become part of an established and growing practice, we would love to hear from you.
Join Dr. Snipes & Associates and help us continue providing exceptional eye care to patients throughout Louisville and Lexington.
