Optometrist

Crawford Vision Care | Central Ohio (Multi-Location)

Hi, I'm Dan Crawford. I'm a Dad, Husband, Optometrist, Teacher, and Columbus native, and I'm incredibly proud of what we've built at Crawford Vision Care over the past couple of years. I'm also very excited to share that we're looking for the next amazing member of our talented team of optometrists.

Crawford Vision Care is an independent, doctor‑led/owned/operated optometry practice serving Central Ohio through multiple, corporate‑sublease locations inside the Visionworks stores around town (i.e., we do everything but sell the glasses, operating as a true private practice with our own clinical support staff). We’re growing intentionally and seeking our next talented optometrist who values excellent patient care, strong clinical support, and a respectful, collaborative culture.

This role is not tied to a single location — scheduling is flexible across our clinics in Polaris/Lewis Center, Hilliard, and Grandview/Lennox Town Center, with a Dublin store on the horizon, allowing us to prioritize team balance, coverage stability, and physician preferences.

We are hiring a full‑time optometrist to join our clinical team as we continue to expand. We are a lean, mean, clinically‑focused machine due to the nature of our corporate sublease affiliation with Visionworks, so this position offers strong base compensation, transparent production incentives, and real long‑term upside for doctors who want stability, growth, and meaningful autonomy in how they practice and progress.

The start date can be as soon as you’re interested, and I’d like to connect with as many optometrists as possible to ensure we’re building the very best team. So truly, fill‑in, part‑time, or full‑time, seasoned veteran or new graduate, now is the time to connect because we’re ready to grow fast, and I’d love to chat about how you might be a fit for our really great team, right away or in the future.

This is what we’re looking to add right away, but interest in more or less of a full‑time position will certainly be considered. I just have one post, so I am summarizing this available position generally:

• Four to five weekday clinical days per week
• Approximately two Saturdays per month
• Predictable scheduling with advance planning
• No forced overbooking culture (
  average 12 patients per day
  )

• Base salary: $140,000–$155,000 (based on experience, FTE, and leadership interest)
• Production compensation: Generous percentage of personally generated, collected professional revenue paid quarterly (easily exceeding $15k per year for established doctors)
• Retention bonus: up to $5,000 annually
• Paid time off + 6 paid holidays (4 fixed + 2 floating)
• Professional liability coverage
• Support for leadership development and clinical growth

• Independent,
  OD‑led practice
• Strong clinical and technical support
  , with dedicated in‑house clinical support technicians
• Modern technology and flow - Optomap on every patient, Maestro OCT and Topcon Visual Field
• Revolution EHR with a full suite of integrations for efficiency
• Committed doctors are rewarded with priority coverage, stability, and growth opportunities
• Multi‑location expansion creates a long‑term opportunity without instability
• Freedom to establish yourself with a specialty within the practice

• Ohio‑licensed optometrist (or license pending)
• Strong clinical judgment and patient communication
• Values teamwork, quality care, professionalism, and efficiency
• Interested in growing with a practice
