🚨 We’re Hiring! Join Our Eye-Catching Team! 👁️‍🗨️

We’re on the hunt for TWO incredible humans to help keep our optometry clinic running smoothly—because even perfect vision can’t help us see the right candidate unless you apply! 😉

🔍 Position 1: Experienced Optician
If you know your PD from your OC, can adjust a frame like a pro, and love helping patients look and see their best—we want you! Experience preferred, style and precision required.

📞 Position 2: Front Desk Rockstar
This is not just a “hello and goodbye” gig. Our front desk staff are the heartbeat of our practice! We’re looking for someone with:
• A warm, confident phone presence
• Mad multitasking skills (think: answering phones, scheduling, checking in/out, taking payments)
• Insurance-savvy (or willing to learn!)
• Bonus points if you’re patient, kind, and can laugh under pressure

📍 We’re local, friendly, and passionate about patient care—and we want someone who fits into that vibe like a well-adjusted pair of glasses.

📩 If that’s you—or someone you know—send us a message or drop off a resume in person. Let’s make a spectacle of your talents (in a good way).

We are 10 years old!!! Ten years ago today, Eye Health of Kalkaska became Kalkaska Family Vision Care. So grateful for the past 10 years of serving the Kalkaska and surrounding communities! (Funny side note...I realized I'm wearing the same shirt today that I wore in this photo with Dr. Molter...and it still fits...)

We’re Hiring in Kalkaska!

Looking for a friendly face (and voice!) to join our team!

We’re on the hunt for a Front Desk Rockstar to work 32–40 hours per week at our Kalkaska office. If you’re energetic, love talking to people, and can juggle phone calls like a pro, we want to meet you!

No need to be an insurance expert—we’ll teach you how to look up vision plans and schedule appointments like a boss.

Think you’re the one? Or know someone who’d be a great fit? Send them our way!

Apply by messaging us here or stopping by the office in person. Bonus points if you bring coffee (just kidding… kind of).

It appears spectrum phones are down in many areas…if you need to get hold of us keep trying or stop in…

FYI there is road construction right in front of our office on West Mile Road (M-72 NW) if you have an appointment today and likely the rest of the week...probably should leave extra travel time if you can.

Our new sign from Signplicity is up…fresh paint and nameplates…they did a great job!

Internet is back up and running
and we are back in business!

06/25/2024

Looks like there’s an internet outage in Kalkaska…which takes our phones down as well as our patient management system…if you can’t get a hold of us try back in a bit…we are waiting for Specteum to fix the issue due to the storm that just went through…
