Cataract Surgeon Opportunity – Fayetteville, North Carolina
OjO Recruitment Agency is working with a respected, physician-led ophthalmology practice in Fayetteville, NC to recruit a Cataract / Anterior Segment Surgeon for a partnership-track opportunity with ASC equity.
This is not a build-from-scratch role. The incoming surgeon will step into immediate surgical volume, a well-established referral network, and a premium cataract model supported by advanced technology and experienced staff.
________________________________________
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Immediate cataract surgery volume (no ramp-up period)
• Target of 1,000+ cataract cases annually
• Established OD referral network and strong patient demand
• Premium IOL and refractive cataract model
• Access to modern surgical platforms and technology
• Opportunity for ownership in both the practice and ASC
This is a rare chance to join a practice where the infrastructure is already in place—you’re stepping into momentum, not creating it.
________________________________________
Practice Overview
• Physician-owned ophthalmology group
• 3 MD partners currently, with continued growth planned
• Founder performing ~2,500 cases per year and transitioning leadership
• ASC-driven model with strong surgical efficiency
• Highly rated in the local market with a long-standing reputation
The practice blends clinical quality, operational efficiency, and entrepreneurial thinking—a combination that’s increasingly hard to find.

Surgical Environment & Technology
• Premium cataract surgery model with refractive focus
• PanOptix and advanced Alcon platforms
• MIGS procedures incorporated into care
• State-of-the-art lasers and diagnostic technology
• Dedicated ophthalmic ASC (non-hospital setting)
Surgeons here are supported to operate efficiently while maintaining a high standard of care and outcomes.
________________________________________
Compensation & Partnership
• Base salary: $350,000 – $400,000
• Bonus: 33% of collections after 3x base salary
• Total compensation potential: $1M+ annually
• Immediate buy-in opportunity (practice + ASC)
• Relocation assistance and sign-on bonus negotiable
The structure is designed for physicians who want more than employment—it’s built for long-term ownership and wealth creation.
________________________________________
Schedule & Lifestyle
• Monday–Friday schedule (typically finished by ~4 PM)
• No routine weekend clinic
• 1:3 call rotation with compensation
• Efficient clinic and surgical workflow
• Strong clinical and administrative support team
This is a high-production environment that is also structured for sustainability.

What Success Looks Like
Within the first 6 months, you can expect to:
• Build a full surgical schedule quickly
• Perform 300+ cataract cases
• Establish relationships with referring providers
• Integrate into a collaborative, growth-oriented team
This is a long-term opportunity—not a temporary stop.
________________________________________
Who This Role Is a Fit For
• Cataract or anterior segment surgeon (fellowship-trained or strong surgical experience)
• Board-eligible or board-certified ophthalmologist
• Comfortable discussing premium IOL options with patients
• Motivated by surgical volume, efficiency, and outcomes
• Interested in partnership, ownership, and leadership over time
