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.
