PT Optometrist - Private Practice - Young, Energized Team Balanced Schedule & Quality of Life Focus
About Us
West End Eye Care has proudly served the West Hartford community since 1946, remaining independently owned and operated for nearly eight decades. In 2023, we expanded our commitment to exceptional, compassionate eye care with the opening of Glastonbury Eye Care.
Our practices are co-owned by Dr. John Nedelcu and Dr. Lauren Colite, who share a vision of providing top-quality, personalized optometric care in a supportive, non-corporate environment.
Our Culture
At West End and Glastonbury Eye Care, we believe great eye care starts with happy, fulfilled doctors and staff.
- We maintain a calm, steady patient pace — about 2 patients per hour, totaling roughly 16–18 encounters per day.
- No corporate micromanaging. You’re treated as a professional and an equal.
- No sales or volume quotas. We focus on quality of care, not metrics.
- We’re a young, growing team with a strong sense of purpose and community.
- We prioritize people, mental and physical health, and work-life balance above profits.
Our goal is simple: help our patients see better and live healthier, while ensuring our doctors and staff enjoy coming to work every day.
Compensation
We offer a competitive salary/per diem rate based on experience, along with a comprehensive benefits package if full-time.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking a compassionate, motivated optometrist who values patient relationships, clinical excellence, and professional autonomy. Whether you’re a recent graduate or an experienced OD looking for a more balanced and fulfilling career, we’d love to hear from you.
