Busy Chicago practice with partnership potential.  As a solo glaucoma fellowship-trained ophthalmologist with academic affiliation, I am seeking a personable, dedicated, team-oriented, self-motivated, and surgically adept BC or BE associate.  A broad general ophthalmology foundation with a strong glaucoma/anterior segment interest is preferable. Fellowship training  is a plus, and a nearby teaching hospital affiliation is anticipated.

 

My general private practice with a glaucoma subspecialty is situated in both downtown Chicago and Glenview, Illinois, a suburb approximately 20 miles northwest of Chicago.  Public transportation and parking are located near each site.  The offices have access to Argon, SLT, and Diode lasers,  nerve fiber layer imaging, and disc photography either onsite or at adjacent centers.

 

Clinical duties are divided between the two locations and call is shared.  Patients are examined independently in each location, and surgeries are performed in hospital or ASC settings using state-of-the art equipment.  Contact lens dispensing by an optometrist is provided at the Chicago office.  Administratively, I look forward to sharing office management and, possibly, clinical research ideas.  Promotion of the practice’s services and community involvement, and excellent interpersonal skills are also positive attributes.  Please see www.eyemdchicago.eyemd.org for more information.

 

For a July/August 2010 or sooner start date, and for details concerning salary and benefits, please send your resume to: 111 N. Wabash,

Suite 1609

, Chicago, Ill.  60602, Fax 847-242-0974, or e-mail  to dpalmermd@comcast.net.

 

Interviews will be available at the San Francisco AAO October 23-26 or by appointment in my Chicago (312-855-1550) and Glenview (847-901-0333) offices.  Educational and/or area family ties are a plus.

 

Sincerely, 

 

David J. Palmer, M.D.
