Location: Clarksville, TN
Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Opportunity

Clarksville Ophthalmology is growing, and we’re looking for a caring, skilled General Ophthalmology Surgeon to join our close-knit team. We’re proud to be a trusted, community-based practice where patients are treated like family and quality eye care is personal. If you’re passionate about helping people see better — and want to work in a supportive environment that values relationships as much as results — we’d love to meet you.

Clarksville, TN is one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. and in TN with annual figures around 2.44% to 2.67% and a 10-year population increase of about 20.8%. The population has grown significantly, with an estimated 180,716 residents as of 2024, and the city is still adding thousands of new residents each year.

Clarksville TN living is very attractive with a lower cost of living than Nashville, access to outdoor recreation and a strong sense of community due to the military presence and the university; it has a growing economy full of amenities and job opportunities and is in close proximity to Nashville (50 miles northwest of the city) where you can quickly drive for more extensive nightlife, food, and entertainment/cultural options.

You’ll step right into a thriving practice with an immediate full clinic and surgical schedule. Our need for another ophthalmologist isn’t just from the area’s incredible growth—it’s because our current patient volume is already more than enough to keep another talented physician busy. The opportunity for ASC ownership is also available.

What You’ll Do

• Provide comprehensive medical eye exams.

• Manage a wide range of eye conditions.

• Perform cataract surgery.

• Perform other general ophthalmic surgeries.

• Guide patients through every step of their care — from diagnosis to post-op follow-up.

• Collaborate with our optometrists, technicians, and support staff to deliver seamless care.

• Keep detailed, accurate medical records and stay current on best practices in ophthalmology.

• Educate patients about preventive eye care and treatment options.

What We’re Looking For

• MD or DO with completion of an accredited Ophthalmology residency.

• Board certified or board eligible in Ophthalmology.

• Licensed (or eligible for licensure) in Tennessee.

• Confident in cataract surgery.

• Confident in general ophthalmic procedures.

• A team player who’s compassionate, communicative, and committed to excellent patient care.

• Experience in outpatient and surgical eye care settings.

• Interest or minor focus in subspecialty areas such as glaucoma, cornea, or medical retina (not required but advantageous).

• Experience with electronic medical record (EMR) systems.

Why You’ll Love Working with Us

• Immediate full clinic and surgical schedule based on existing patient volume.

• Opportunities for professional growth and partnership including ASC ownership.

• Competitive pay with productivity-based incentives.

• Supportive, family-like team culture.

• Modern, well-equipped facilities with the latest technology.

• Experienced clinical and administrative staff who have your back.

• Flexible scheduling and a healthy work-life balance.
