Visionworks offers students and early-career ODs a supportive environment focused on growth, mentorship, and clinical excellence. Manpreet Bains, Lead Clinical OD in Havertown, PA, emphasizes that Visionworks is far more than a retail setting: “Doctors can practice the way that they want to. I can practice to the full extent of my license and get the career support I need, and that makes it a great place to work.” 
 
Here are some key benefits for new optometrists to consider as they explore the path to entering the workplace with Visionworks:  

• Flexible onboarding, ongoing mentorship, and exposure to advanced technology like Optos and electronic medical records 
• A lead OD program to ensure graduates transition smoothly from student to clinician with guidance on patient care, documentation, and professional development 
• A collaborative “one-team” approach where clinical and retail teams work together to enhance patient and doctor experiences
