Corneal Specialist Eye Associates of New Mexico is a large, multi-specialty eye care practice, fully integrated with ophthalmologists, optometrists and PA’s. We seek a 3rd Corneal and External Disease Specialist to join us in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to replace a cornea specialist who relocated at the end of 2018. All 3 specialists are extremely busy seeing patients with a high degree of pathology. 90-100% of specialists’ time is currently devoted to in-specialty care, including complex anterior segment surgery. The practice performs 150-200 transplants yearly, including DMEK, DSAEK, DALK and PKP. Candidates must possess both excellent clinical knowledge and excellent surgical skills. The selected candidate will receive careful, ongoing mentoring in all areas of patient care, including complex anterior segment surgery and cataract surgery, to help that individual excel and ultimately provide an exceptionally high level of surgical and clinical care to patients. Our practice was established in 1976 and has grown to over 50 doctors, 15 clinics and 3 surgery centers providing services to patients throughout New Mexico and adjacent states. Eye Associates is the leading eye care provider in the state and region. Albuquerque's high-desert location offers 300+ days of sunshine a year, four seasons, low humidity, a convenient airport and proximity to many recreational activities including, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, road cycling, skiing, and golf. It provides diverse cultural offerings and an active arts community. In addition, Santa Fe -- one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations -- is only one hour away. |
