Eye Disease Consultants is a 4 physician practice in West Hartford, CT.

Two of us are uveitis/cornea specialists with very heavy and broad surgical loads (cataract/cornea/glaucoma) and the other two are medical retina/cataract. Lots of our patients are secondary or tertiary referrals.

One uveitis/cornea specialist is moving for family reasons, leaving a wide open opportunity for an anterior segment surgeon or for a uveitis specialist with a more limited surgical practice. Lots of training backgrounds could fit in, but uveitis training is a huge advantage in the current arrangement. This position offers an excellent career in this beautiful location and superbly staffed and equipped setting. It's a great practice in a nice place, and we are nice people.

Pay is highly competitive and partnership includes opportunities for real estate and ambulatory surgical center ownership.

Uveitis fellowship graduates who like the idea of a broad surgical practice but feel they need additional surgical training are encouraged to contact Dr. Gaudio, as the practice’ setting is conducive to accelerated, tailored surgical instruction to bring new associates “up to speed” as needed surgically.
