Client Practice Services: Building Practices

Optometric and Ophthalmologic practices are about to undergo a seismic shift. Simply stated, the supply of Associate, Partner or Buyer candidates is not keeping pace with demand. As the baby boomers age and the population continues to grow, there has never been a greater demand for Optometrists and Ophthalmologists. More Baby Boom Optometrists and Ophthalmologists are transitioning into retirement while the supply of new doctors is simply not keeping pace. Finding an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist for your practice will continue to get more and more difficult over the next decade.

Don't leave the future of your practice to chance.

ETS Vision specializes in the recruitment, search, and placement of Optometrists and Ophthalmologists across the country. Our one and only business is recruiting. We've assisted hundreds of independent practices throughout the United States. As an affiliate with the MRINetwork™, we provide our clients with the proven tools and techniques only available through the world's largest and most successful recruiting firm - with every search.

Our clients typically tend to fall into one of five groups:

  • Solo Doctor of Optometry or Ophthalmology interested in finding an heir apparent to take over their practice (immediately or over the course of many years)
  • Solo Practice that has reached capacity and is looking for a long-term Associate who could grow into a Partner
  • Group Practice in need of a long-term Associate or Potential Partner.
  • Practice Management firm or Multi-location Group interested in finding a long-term Associate. Ideal situation for an Eye Doctor interested in completely focusing on patient care rather than the daily head-aches of running practice.
  • Not-for-Profit Clinic seeking an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist to carry out their mission of treating under-served patient populations.

Whether our clients are strategically trying to position their practice for long-term growth, or have been forced into a crisis situation due to the disability or immediate departure of an Associate or Partner, there is no better source than ETS Vision.

The one thing our client practices have in common is their commitment to finding a long- term addition to their practice.

Who we work with: Our search criteria are based on your needs and the needs of your practice. Our candidates range in experience and training, depending on who you tell us you are looking for. Candidates typically fall into the following groups:

  • Early career Optometrists or Ophthalmologists who are currently practicing as an Associate and interested in taking the next step in their career: Looking for a better practice; seeking greater earning potential; an opportunity to improve and update their clinical skills; a partnership or ownership opportunity, etc.
  • Optometric/Ophthalmologic Residency Graduates interested in finding a long-term Associate opportunity or opportunities that could lead to a partnership or practice ownership opportunity.
  • Military Eye Doctors who are ending their commission and seeking opportunities in private practice as they transition out of the armed services.
  • Recent Graduates interested in finding a long-term Associate opportunity or an opportunity that could lead to a partnership or practice ownership opportunity
  • Experienced practice owners interested in selling or transitioning out of their practice and finding an Associate Opportunity across town or across the country.
  • Practice owners interested in expanding their practice through acquisition or merger.
