About this role

Columbus Ophthalmology Associates is recruiting a fellowship-trained cornea surgeon to join an established multi-specialty practice that has served Central Ohio for over 40 years. You'd step into a high-volume cornea practice with immediate surgical access, splitting time between the Dublin and East locations—the latter equipped with an on-site ASC. The case mix is broad and complex: corneal transplants (DMEK, DSAEK, PKP), keratoconus management with cross-linking, and anterior segment surgery, supported by a strong referral network and an existing patient base already built around cornea care.

Beyond clinical work, the role includes active involvement in COA's optometry residency program, where you'd participate in resident selection, mentorship, and collaborative patient care. The practice operates as a physician-led, collaborative model integrated with EyeCare Partners, providing both stability and resources alongside state-of-the-art facilities and diagnostic technology.

The position offers competitive base salary plus productivity incentives, sign-on bonus, relocation assistance, full benefits, CME allowance, and malpractice coverage. Candidates must hold an MD or DO with completed ophthalmology residency and cornea fellowship training, and be board eligible or board certified. This role suits surgeons seeking immediate case volume, mentorship opportunities, and a community-focused practice environment in an affordable, growing metro area.
