Future Owner-Optometrist (Partnership / Buy-Out Track)
Job Description
About Our Practice
Proudly serving the Central Valley community from the exact same location since 1986, Fresno Valley Optometric Group has built a multi-generational, highly loyal patient base. We practice full-scope medical optometry in an environment equipped with a premier technology stack, including a Zeiss Cirrus 5000 OCT, Zeiss Visual Field, and Optomap.
We currently operate 2 fully functional exam lanes with the physical blueprint and immediate capacity to build out a 3rd exam lane. Our practice currently generates close to $600,000 in annual revenue, but with our physical space and equipment, it is structurally primed to exceed $1,000,000 annually under the direction of an entrepreneurial doctor.
The Opportunity: Step Into Ownership
This is not just an associate job; it is a structured, legally backed pathway to practice ownership. The current owner is looking to transition the practice to a dedicated successor over the next 1 to 3 years. You will learn the business operations side of independent practice while enjoying immediate clinical autonomy.
Innovative Compensation & Equity Structure
We believe in rewarding the growth you generate while building your path to equity.
- Guaranteed Base Salary: Competitive baseline pay to ensure your financial security from day one.
- Quarterly Profit-Sharing Bonus: Earn a tiered percentage of Net Operating Profit. As you help scale the practice from $600k toward its $1M potential, your compensation scales dynamically with it. This puts your first-year earning potential directly in the $180,000 - $200,000+ range.
- Flexible Equity Transfer Options: We are committed to making ownership accessible without requiring crushing up-front capital. We offer two customizable pathways to acquire the practice:
- Sweat Equity / Length of Employment Track: Earn percentage shares of practice equity annually based on hitting agreed-upon performance and retention milestones.
- Financed Buy-In Track: Transition to full ownership via structured owner-financing (promissory notes) or assisted bank financing, utilizing practice profits to pay down the purchase.
What We Are Looking For
- Doctor of Optometry (OD) licensed or eligible for licensure in California.
- TPA certified (full medical scope required to utilize our diagnostic suite).
- An entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to manage, lead staff, and eventually own a business.
- Compassionate clinical approach rooted in community-oriented care.
A well-established, high-volume practice in California’s Central Valley, is seeking
compassionate and highly motivated employees to join our team. If you are a dedicated
person with a passion for delivering the best customer/patient experience possible, this job is for you.
