Optometrist (O.D.)

Optometrist (O.D.) — Associate | Bluebird Vision + Wellness | Blackfoot, Idaho This isn't a job. It's an opportunity to build something. Bluebird Vision + Wellness has grown 5x in revenue over the past 17 years — not through corporate backing or private equity, but through exceptional care, smart systems, and a team that's genuinely invested. We're debt-free, growing, and ready to bring on an associate OD who wants to practice at a high level and grow with us. If you're tired of being a production number at a corporate chain — or you're a new grad who wants to learn from an experienced OD-owner in a practice that runs like a real business — this is worth a serious look.

What You'll Actually Be Doing:

Providing comprehensive primary eye care for a loyal, established patient base — families, professionals, and patients who value their long-term vision health. Practicing alongside an experienced OD-owner and an existing associate, with full access to cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment technology. Developing clinical depth in specialty areas: dry eye treatment (RF + IPL), myopia control, specialty contact lenses, and advanced medical eye care. Enjoying a clean Monday-Friday schedule with no weekends.

The Technology Is Real:

We've invested in tools that let you practice at the top of your license: Optos ultra-widefield retinal imaging. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Corneal topography and meibography. Radiofrequency and IPL for dry eye treatment. Cloud-based EHR for efficient, modern documentation.

Compensation & Benefits:

$100,000-$120,000 base salary OR 18% of production — whichever is higher. Commensurate with experience. IRA with employer matching. Annual continuing education allowance. Professional liability insurance covered. Idaho state licensing fees covered. Mentorship from an OD-owner with 17 years of practice ownership experience. A practice culture where your input actually matters.

Who We're Looking For:

O.D. degree required; current Idaho licensure or ability to obtain. New grads and experienced ODs both welcome and encouraged to apply. Patient-centered, strong communicator, collaborative — someone who wants to grow, not just clock in. Willing to relocate to Blackfoot or the greater Southeast Idaho area. Why Blackfoot, Idaho? Southeast Idaho is one of the most underrated places to build a life and a career: 2-3 hours from Yellowstone, 3-4 from Grand Teton. Snake River fishing, skiing, hiking, mountain biking — outdoor recreation at your doorstep. One of Idaho's fastest-growing regions with 15-20% projected population growth. Low cost of living — your salary goes significantly further than in metro markets. Excellent schools, safe neighborhoods, tight-knit community. 30 minutes from Idaho Falls for additional shopping, dining, and entertainment. Ready to Talk?
