Neuro-Ophthalmologist at American Academy of Ophthalmology

Wolfe Eye Clinic is searching for a well-qualified BC/BE neuro-ophthalmologist to join our practice in West Des Moines, IA. Wolfe Eye Clinic is the largest ophthalmology clinic in the Des Moines metro area and the State of Iowa. The Wolfe Eye Clinic West Des Moines professional staff includes very busy and well-experienced fellowship-trained subspecialists in cornea, retina, glaucoma, oculo-plastics, and pediatric/adult strabismus subspecialties. Wolfe Eye Clinic is committed to being the first practice in Central Iowa to bring neuro-ophthalmologists aboard to serve a population of over a million, that otherwise are required to travel significant distance out of Central Iowa to get subspecialized neuro-ophthalmology diagnosis and treatment.

The ideal candidate should be fellowship trained and experienced in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of neurological conditions and disorders that affect the visual system. The neuro-ophthalmologist would have substantial support from all other subspecialties in establishing and serving this client base. The successful candidate will have a desire to be on the ground floor of building a subspecialty practice within Wolfe Eye Clinic’s well-established clinic supported by a very loyal outside referral network.
