Why This Opportunity Stands Out
The Eye Center has served the Yakima Valley for more than four decades and has built a reputation for high-quality ophthalmic care across Central Washington. Our practice combines strong patient demand, trusted referral relationships, and a modern surgical environment, creating an excellent opportunity for an ophthalmologist seeking a long-term private practice career.
Strong Regional Demand
The Eye Center serves patients throughout the Yakima Valley and surrounding Central Washington communities, representing a regional population of approximately 350,000 people. It is the only full-time ophthalmology clinic and private ambulatory surgery center in the Yakima Valley.
Established Referral Network
Our practice maintains long-standing relationships with 16 optometry clinics across the Yakima Valley and nearby communities. These partnerships support a steady referral flow and ensure strong continuity of care for patients requiring specialty ophthalmic services.
Proven Surgical Volume
For more than 40 years, The Eye Center has delivered comprehensive ophthalmic care with a strong emphasis on surgical excellence. The practice has completed over 40,000 cataract surgeries, demonstrating both regional demand and the experience of the surgical team.
Mentorship and Professional Growth
We welcome physicians at different stages of their careers, including new graduates interested in developing their surgical skills. Our team provides mentorship and collaboration within a supportive private practice environment focused on long-term success.
Our practice
We built something worth joining
For more than 40 years, The Eye Center has provided comprehensive ophthalmic care to patients across the Yakima Valley and surrounding Central Washington communities.

Technology and surgical environment
Modern diagnostics and a fully equipped surgical center
