A Practice Built for Physicians
At Tennessee Retina, we believe physicians should have a meaningful voice in the practice they help build. Our physician-led model is designed to support collaboration while giving our physicians the autonomy to make decisions about clinical care and how they practice.
- Physician led decision making — Our physician board has autonomy for clinical management decisions, including physician schedules, with flexible options such as the potential for
a four-day work week. - A collaborative surgical model — Add-on surgical cases are distributed among physicians with available weekday block time.
- Shared call responsibilities — Call is evenly shared among associates and partners.
- Physician involvement — Associates are invited to participate in physician board meetings and contribute to the direction of the practice.
- A culture of collaboration — We value the perspectives and expertise each physician brings to the practice.
Make an Impact
Focus on what matters most by providing exceptional retinal care and making a meaningful difference in the lives of your patients. Your impact can extend beyond the clinic through community involvement, philanthropy and efforts to expand access to specialized retinal care.
