Quotes from Doctors in the Group About the Practice and the Area:
“Picking this position was a great decision. Even when I was fresh out of school and not a partner my thoughts and opinions were valued and I was respected. I had a voice. It’s great to walk down the hall and consult with another fellowship trained ophthalmologist on complex cases. Also, work / life balance is very important here. I love the environment. It’s a very collegial group.”
“Epicenter for outdoor enthusiasts on the East Coast with epic mountain biking and kayaking out your back door as well as superb backpacking and hiking with the Appalachian Trail nearby. This is an independent minded group practice where you can flourish and develop your own interests with the support of collegial colleagues.”
“The Tri Cities has a perfect balance of a beautiful setting and numerous dining and entertainment venues. There are both nationally recognized chefs and hole-in-the-wall BBQs, professional theatre companies and weekend music festivals. It’s a wonderful place to raise a family, make a home, and build a community of friends. A hidden gem. Our group is the practice I dreamed about during training. I shape my practice to suit my interests and the needs of our patient community. You can be as busy as you want to be. The support staff is unparalleled, allowing the providers to treat patients and leaving logistics and office tasks to the rest of the team.”
