Board-Certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist (DACVO)

Ophthalmology for Animals – Aptos, California

Elevate your career where the redwoods meet the sea.

Ophthalmology for Animals (OforA) is seeking a passionate full-time or part-time Veterinary Ophthalmologist to join our thriving, privately owned specialty practice. Here, you’ll work alongside two dedicated board-certified ophthalmologists in a collaborative environment that prioritizes clinical excellence and quality of life.

The Location: A Coastal Paradise

Nestled in the charming town of Aptos, our practice offers the ultimate California lifestyle. Whether you are an adrenaline seeker or a weekend wanderer, you are perfectly positioned:

  • Nature at Your Doorstep: Surf world-class breaks at Pleasure Point, mountain bike through the majestic Nisene Marks redwoods, or kayak with sea otters in Elkhorn Slough.

  • Central & Connected: Enjoy the serenity of a "small town" feel while being just 40 minutes from the tech hub of Silicon Valley, 40 minutes from the historic Monterey Bay, and a short drive to the cultural riches of San Francisco.

  • The Best of Both Worlds: Spend your Saturday wine tasting in the Santa Cruz Mountains and your Sunday at the San Francisco Symphony.

  • A Skilled Support Team: Our technicians and staff are highly trained, allowing you to focus on what you do best—practicing high-level medicine.

Transparent & Robust Compensation

We believe in rewarding your hard work with complete clarity. Our package includes:

  • ProSal Compensation: Straightforward calculations with 100% transparency in production numbers.

  • Signing Bonus

  • Comprehensive Benefits:

    • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance (including HSA options).

    • 401k with company match and profit sharing.

    • Full coverage for professional liability, license defense, association fees (ACVO, AVMA, CVMA, local AVMA Chapter), and reimbursement for obtaining a California Veterinary License (if you don’t already have one).
