Employee-Owned Surgical Retina Opportunity

Retina Specialty Institute

Retina Specialty Institute is seeking a surgical retina specialist to join our expanding physician-led retina practice along Florida’s Emerald Coast and Mississippi Gulf Coast.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced or mid-career surgeon to step into an established, high-volume practice with immediate clinical and surgical demand due to an upcoming physician retirement. For the right candidate, this represents the ideal combination of:

Immediate patient volume 
Long-term stability 
Ownership opportunity 
Clinical excellence 
Exceptional coastal lifestyle 
A Practice Designed for Long-Term Success — Not Private Equity

Retina Specialty Institute has spent more than 30 years building one of the Southeast’s premier retina practices and clinical research organizations. As many groups transition to private equity ownership, RSI has intentionally chosen a different path by becoming a Physician and Employee-Owned organization (ESOP).

We believe experienced physicians value:

Professional autonomy 
Stability and alignment 
Collaborative culture 
Long-term wealth building 
A voice in the future of the practice 
Our 10-physician retina-only group continues to grow across the Gulf Coast region, with established referral relationships, strong infrastructure, and a reputation for excellence in both patient care and innovation.

Immediate Opportunity Created by Physician Retirement

This position offers a unique transition opportunity with:

Established referral patterns 
Immediate surgical and clinic volume 
Existing community relationships 
Strong optometric referral network 
Efficient clinical infrastructure already in place 
The incoming physician will join a mature, highly respected practice without the burden of building volume from scratch.

Nationally Recognized Innovation & Research

RSI is recognized as one of the nation’s leading retinal clinical trial centers, offering patients access to cutting-edge pharmaceutical and device therapies, including:

Gene therapy trials 
Stem cell research 
Advanced retinal therapeutics 
Emerging device technologies 
Our physicians have also helped shape the future of retina through leadership in:

US Retina 
IRIS (Intelligent Retinal Imaging System) 
National research collaborations 
Live Where People Vacation

Imagine finishing clinic and being minutes from the sugar-white beaches and turquoise waters of Florida’s Emerald Coast.

This opportunity provides easy access to some of the country’s most desirable coastal communities, including:

Watersound 
Seaside 
Rosemary Beach 
30A 
Destin 
Fairhope 
Pensacola 
The region offers an unmatched quality of life featuring:

Waterfront living and boating 
Championship golf 
World-class fishing 
Exceptional dining and hospitality 
Walkable coastal communities 
Excellent schools 
Mild climate year-round 
Growing luxury real estate market 
Whether you are seeking a slower pace, an active outdoor lifestyle, or an ideal place to raise a family, the Gulf Coast offers a lifestyle difficult to replicate elsewhere in medicine.

Position Highlights

Full-time or part-time flexibility 
Immediate surgical volume 
Established patient base 
Partnership and ownership pathway 
Physician-led culture 
Research opportunities available 
Competitive compensation and benefits 
Modern technology and support staff 
Strong work-life balance 
Join a Practice with Purpose

If you are looking for the next chapter of your career in a thriving, respected retina practice where your experience is valued and your lifestyle matters, we would welcome the opportunity to connect.
