Love helping people? Enjoy cool medical equipment? Ever wondered what it’s like to be working with a patient? Then you might be our next tech extraordinaire!
At our clinic, technicians are the MVPs of the patient experience.

Helping patients understand each test and why it matters for their eye health
Running and maintaining our high-tech pre-testing equipment
Gathering accurate patient history and making sure the doctor has the full story
Keeping exam rooms stocked, organized, and ready for action
Tracking specialized testing so we know we’re giving patients the best care possible
