Cataract / Glaucoma Surgeon or Cataract / Cornea Surgeon Job Opportunity in Central Maine. Partnership track | High surgical volume | ASC | Lifestyle location.
Our private 6 doctor practice is a longstanding, highly respected OD/MD practice in Central Maine and we are searching for a talented, relational Cataract + Glaucoma surgeon to join our team in the Waterville area.
This is a wonderful opportunity to step into a busy practice with deep community trust, an older patient population with strong cataract demand, and a physician with good chemistry. We’re excited to meet someone who’s not just clinically and surgically excellent, but also a great fit for our loyal, “salt of the earth” patients.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
✅ True partnership track opportunity
✅ Booked out 6–12 months (strong demand + long-term stability)
✅ High surgical volume available immediately
✅ Physician-owned ASC
✅ Supportive OD network + strong internal referrals
✅ Friendly, collaborative culture with a family atmosphere
✅ Lifestyle location with four seasons and room to breathe
This is the kind of place where you can build a long-term home — both professionally and personally.
Surgical Volume & Clinical Scope
You can truly tailor your pace here.
- 35–40+ patients/day if desired
- ~20–23 surgical cases/week available
- 1 dedicated OR day/week at the group’s physician-owned ASC
- Excellent support structure to maximize efficiency and patient experience
Ideal specialty fit:
- General Ophthalmology with strong cataract volume
- Glaucoma + Cataracts
- Cornea + Cataracts
Practice Overview
We have a rich history in the state and a strong reputation for taking care of people the right way.
- 4 locations across the region
- 7 doctor staff
- Strong staff loyalty and a patient base that truly values the practice
This is a high-integrity group that cares deeply about quality, culture, and community.
Compensation & Benefits
Starting compensation depends on training, experience, work ethic, and pace, but this is a very lucrative opportunity with significant upside due to demand and surgical volume.
✅ Excellent income potential
✅ Benefits, bonuses, and long-term security
✅ Partnership track
✅ Established referral base + immediate surgical demand

7 Great Reasons to Move to Maine (and why people fall in love with it fast):
Wild, jaw-dropping coastline
Maine’s shoreline is iconic: rocky cliffs, lighthouses, salt air, and ocean views everywhere. You get weekend drives that feel like a vacation—Acadia, midcoast towns, and hidden coves included.
If you love the outdoors, you’ll never run out of things to do
Hiking, skiing, kayaking, paddleboarding, snowshoeing, camping, mountain biking… Maine is an outdoor playground in every season. And it’s not “crowded outdoors” like some other states.
A slower, calmer pace (without being boring)
Maine is peaceful in the best way. Less traffic, less chaos, more breathing room. It’s perfect if you want your life to feel more grounded and less rushed.
Four REAL seasons (and they’re all pretty)
- Summer: lakes, beaches, boating
- Fall: some of the best foliage in the country
- Winter: cozy + snowy + scenic
- Spring: fresh, green, and quiet again
If you like seasonal living, Maine delivers.
Safe, community-focused towns
A lot of Maine communities feel neighborly and genuine—people know each other, show up for local events, and take pride in where they live.
Amazing food scene (especially if you like fresh + local)
Yes, lobster rolls and blueberries are the stars—but there’s also great farm-to-table food, seafood markets, bakeries, coffee shops, and small-town gems that are surprisingly elite.
You can actually unplug and reset
Maine has a way of making you feel better: clean air, quieter nights, less noise, and more nature. It’s a great place for mental clarity and a healthier lifestyle.
