Located just north of Los Angeles County, La Canada Eye Care Optometry is looking to add a part-time Optometrist to the team. If you’re eager to grow and learn from an experienced professional then this opportunity is for you!

Why join us?

Established in 1960, La Canada Eye Care Optometry believes that everyone matters, and that all patients deserve undivided attention for their eye care needs. With a strong dedication to providing great service, the practice offers a comprehensive array of treatment options with the goal being to deliver the highest level of eye care. The owner, Dr. Tony Chahine, is very active in this close-knit community and is a lifelong resident.  As his parents once worked in the same town, he was known as "their son, the eye doctor." Now, they are known as "the eye doctor's parents"--which means preserving the practice legacy and maintaining its reputation is paramount.

What you'll do:
With a strong commitment to patient well-being, you'll help assist the team of professionals with its current four-month waitlist.
