ABOUT SK RETINA

SK Retina is a rapidly growing, private practice dedicated exclusively to diseases of the retina and vitreous. With offices across Sarasota, Bradenton, and Venice, we serve patients throughout the greater Sarasota region of Florida's Gulf Coast — one of the most rapidly growing and affluent communities in the United States.

Our team of fellowship-trained subspecialists provides comprehensive medical, surgical, and uveitis care, supported by state-of-the-art imaging and treatment technology. We have built our reputation on clinical excellence, long-standing referral relationships, and a culture that values both exceptional patient care and the professional well-being of our physicians.

We are now expanding our team and seeking two outstanding fellowship-trained ophthalmologists to join the practice: a Medical Retina Specialist and a Vitreoretinal Surgeon.

We are committed to the independent practice model — physician-led, patient-focused, and free from private equity influence. If you value clinical autonomy, meaningful work-life balance, and a collegial partnership environment, we want to hear from you.
