Job Description
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
