Description

We are searching for a fellowship trained vitreoretinal surgeon to join our retina practice. The position will be based in Spencer, Iowa. Our Spencer retina practice is well established and currently staffed by a senior retina specialist, who will be retiring soon. Our Spencer retina practice is part of our Central Iowa retina staff that includes 4 retina surgeons and 2 retina fellows. We have enjoyed a steady retina practice growth pattern and with the retirement of this very busy senior vitreoretinal specialist, we have an opening for a qualified, team oriented vitreoretinal specialist. The new associate can expect to see full clinics. Our Central Iowa vitreoretinal surgeons perform 9,000 intravitreal injections and 225 surgical cases each year. Our clinics utilize state-of-the-art ophthalmic imaging equipment and are staffed by experienced retinal imaging technicians. Referral relationships are well established with our organization and the successful candidate will be provided opportunities and assistance to continue to build & strengthen these relationships.

Our retina practice has been highly active in clinical trials and has an established retina fellowship program. This is a partnership track position. Our average physician compensation is typically in the top 10% nationally. Recently, our group of partners elected to not pursue private equity ownership. The practice has equal ownership across the physician shareholders and is managed on a democratic basis with one vote per physician. These arrangements have created an environment that all Wolfe Eye Clinic physicians have found appealing and equitable. For the successful candidate, this opportunity will prove to be both financially and professionally rewarding.
