LES Testimonials

“Being in a specialized field, finding experienced help can be a challenge. LocalEyeSite.com has been instrumental to us for finding people with the adequate credentials, experience, and personality. We use them for all our open positions, at every level.”

Richard Jennings, Chief Financial Officer
Dello Russo Laser Vision – New York and New Jersey


“One of the most frustrating parts of my job is finding qualified candidates to hire. Despite the fact that our ads usually include a pretty in-depth job description, posting on general sites would usually bring me resumes spanning from no experience at all to PhDs. If I was lucky, there would be a few somewhere in between to bring in for interviews. When we tried Local Eye Site, I was amazed at the time that was saved by really only getting resumes from qualified people by using a site that captures your true target audience.”

Tiffanie Wings, Human Resources Recruiter
TLC Vision – Chesterfield, MO


“We had a critical staff position to fill, so we tried Local Eye Site (LES). LES quickly helped us reach a significant number of qualified candidates, and within 2 weeks the position was filled. We will continue to use the site for all of our staffing needs. We all know how difficult it is to find strong staff members, but Local Eye Site efficiently helps us hire qualified staff, so that we can focus on providing great care for our patients.”

Lori Travers, M.D.
Travers Lasik – Raleigh, NC


“I am very pleased with the service provided by Local Eye Site. I have hired a third technician and she is wonderful. I now have three technicians on staff, and if I need your service again, I will advertise without any hesitation. I would recommend Local Eye Site to my colleagues.”

Roger M. Kaldawy, M.D.
Milford-Franklin Eye Center – Franklin, MA


“I can not say “thanks” enough to Local Eye Site. I had not heard of the site and a friend told me about it. We had been looking to hire an employee for a few months with almost no luck in finding any candidates that seemed suitable enough to even interview. Within one week of putting our add on your website, we heard from a candidate, brought him in for an interview and have since hired him!! We will definitely use your website again when we are needing new employees. The expense is definitely worth it!!!”

Dr. Sheri Hibbett
Bieter Eye Center – Cottage Grove, MN




“Local Eye Site has become our single recruiting source. LES’ affiliation with major ophthalmic organizations enables us to get the exposure needed for an organization of our size. As a growing subspecialty Ophthalmology practice with 11 sites and 135,000 patients per year, we employ almost 100 technicians. Therefore, we are always looking for the most skilled technicians. Recently, via our LES account, we have been able to hire skilled certified technicians from all over the country (without paying for relocation) including California, Colorado, Florida and Kentucky!”

Evelyn M. Kelly
Health Center Administrator – Duke University Eye Center


“Local Eye Site has proven to be a valuable resource for us and we are thrilled with the results. We’ve identified several qualified applicants that will be visiting and going through training.”

“My Practice recently added Ophthalmology as our newest specialty and after advertising locally without results I turned to ASORN and Local Eye Site (LES) for assistance with finding a Nursing Supervisor. Within two days I had applicants to contact and have recently hired a Supervisor. The staff were especially helpful in navigating the website and I would definitely recommend LES to anyone advertising for Ophthalmology staff and will use them again when the need arises.”

Leslie Ritter, DON
Crystal Run Healthcare – Middletown, New York

Laura Jackson, Founder & Consultant

“We have been extremely pleased with everything Local Eye Site has done in streamlining our search for hiring qualified candidates. The LES team is not only helpful but go above and beyond to make sure everything is in place to reach the most suitable applicants. We do not use the newspaper anymore for job openings since Local Eye Site provides a more extensive reach and is more cost effective. This should be the only source needed for any ophthalmic job openings!”

Tracey Glendenning, OD
Doctors Vision Center


“We found a well-qualified QA Clinical Analyst candidate through Local Eye Site who will be starting with us in two weeks. If we have another challenging position to fill, we will certainly consider using Local Eye Site again.”

Janet Vest, Organizational Effectiveness Administrator

“We have been very pleased with the response from Local Eye Site. We have already hired an angiographer/photographer and two Ophthalmic Technicians. I would recommend Local Eye Site for organizations that need to hire Ophthalmic staff in California and elsewhere.”

Charles W.G. Eifrig, MD
Retina Associates of Orange County (CA) – Laguna Hills and Santa Ana


“We have used newspaper and on line advertising and have been very frustrated at the lack of qualified technicians to fill positions in our office. I was rather hesitant to use localeyesite at first because of limited exposure in the NY/NJ metropolitan area. We ran an ad on localeyesite for one month as a trial and I am happy to report that we hired a very well trained, certified technician who has been a real asset to our practice. It is a rather unusual story, this technician was working in a practice where our retinal surgeon also works. We were not aware that she was looking for a more challenging position until she contacted us through our posting on localeyesite. She was right in our own backyard and localeyesite brought us together for a successful hire.”

Eileen Beltramba, RN
Eye Institute of Essex – Belleville, NJ


“TLC Vision is focused more on building lasting awareness and long-term relationships with top-talent prospects in the vision industry than we are on “quick-hit-hiring.” We believe one of the best ways for us to do that is through strategic partnerships with organizations that have proven their dedication to the advancement of our industry…Local Eye Site is clearly one of those organizations.”

Charles Judy, Vice President of Human Resources
TLC Vision – Chesterfield, MO


“When we decided to hire an optometrist to join our ophthalmology practice, we advertised in a journal and on various online sites. Through LocalEyeSite.com we quickly received an application from a candidate, who we subsequently hired. Our success in finding an optometrist to join our practice through LocalEyeSite.com was at a fraction of the cost of many other recruiting methods. Brad McCorkle and his team were a pleasure to deal with and the site was easy to use. We highly recommend LocalEyeSite.com.”

Marc Ellman, M.D.
Southwest Eye Institute, El Paso, TX


“For a minimal annual fee, I have access to the people and issues that matter most to our facility. It has been a valuable investment for everyone involved. We have already filled six positions in less than eight months using Local Eye Site.”

Genie A. (LaFranchise) Greene, Financial Analyst/Certified Ophthalmic Technician
Wake Forest University Ophthalmology Department


“The community aspect of Local Eye Site really intrigued ASORN and the Board. By partnering with LES, ASORN has been able to connect with people who had not previously heard of our organization. In addition, this partnership has brought technological advances to our attention. There’s a lot to be said for this collaboration and we’re thrilled about the ongoing possibilities and potential.”

Annquinetta Dansby-Kelly
President of ASORN (American Society of Ophthalmic Registered Nurses)


“We have been a member of Local Eye Site for just over 2 months and we have already hired a candidate. We have used LES to streamline our recruiting process, and it has worked. LES has made my job easier.”

Maureen Prior, COT, Clinic Manager
Cape Fear Eye Associates – Fayetteville, NC


“I have interviewed several applicants and I have hired a check-in/check-out front desk person. I am very pleased and plan on using LES when I have optical recruiting needs moving forward.”

Bruce Acosta, Manager/Optician
Images Optical Boutique – Raleigh, NC


“I have been responsible for hiring of all the staff for our ophthalmology practice for 15 years. In the past when we needed technical personnel, we advertised in local newspapers and sometimes in Ophthalmology publications. Most of the responses I received were people with little or no experience. I received some information on the Local Eye Site website, looked over the classified offerings and was very impressed with the presentation and ease of use. We decided to try advertising for a COA and COT position that became available. I had 6 responses of qualified personnel that responded in less than a weeks time! All of the candidates emailed me, and I was also able to review their information in my web account. The ad found the target group that I needed to reach much more effectively than any other venue I had previously used! It was also easy to navigate the website, and questions that I needed answered were addressed quickly by the staff. Thank you for maintaining such a quality resource for Ophthalmology!”

Janet Temas
Temas Eye


“Local Eye Site had proven to be a great resource to Raleigh Neurology Associates. After several weeks of advertising through other local outlets with no success we are most grateful to learn about LES. For a minimal monthly fee we were able to offer employment immediately to a well qualified candidate meeting our job requirements for a neuro-ophthalmology technician position . The employee we hired has joined us from out of state and without LES we may never have been able to interview her. Thank you LES for going above and beyond to help Raleigh Neurology in assisting us to find our newest employee to join our team, we are very pleased !!”

Sky Gunderson, Quality & Development Manager
Raleigh Neurology Associates


“Working with the Local Eye Site team has been effective for me. Through my LES connection, I was able to add a part time Optometrist to my practice. Additionally, I’ve personally enjoyed the communal aspect of sharing that LES fosters. LES is truly the meeting place for eye care professionals!”

Richard Langellotti, OD


“Local Eye Site is a cost effective way to recruit eye care professionals. My practice used LES to recruit a Technician. We had multiple quality candidates to choose from, and ultimately hired one of the applicants…without the frustrations that often accompany the traditional recruiting methods.”

Vincent Dahringer, MD
Carolina Cataract & Laser Center


“We’ve enjoyed the informative nature of being a part of the community that LES is creating. Through LES, we have become aware of the Technician Training programs in the Raleigh/Durham area. We believe that those kinds of introductions are an important part of working with Local Eye Site.”

Raynor Casey, MD
Retina Associates


“Local Eye Site has been a good resource for our practice. We purchased a membership for our practice and initially used the site to recruit a Technician. What we found was that we quickly received multiple applicants on our Local Eye Site dashboard, all qualified. We chose the best fit for our practice and hired her. Simple.”

James A. Bryan, III, MD
Carolina Ophthalmology


“LES was a great way for me to apply for jobs. I ended up with several jobs to choose from. I was offered 3 jobs and the job from LES ended up being the best one for me. I would highly recommend LES to anyone in the Ophthalmology field.”

Brittany Hunter, COT


“Since 1923, Charlotte Eye Ear Nose and Throat, Associates (CEENTA) has strived to meet the increasing ophthalmology and otolaryngology healthcare needs of the population. By partnering with Local Eye Site (LES), we hope to continue to provide opportunities for regional ophthalmology professionals to receive continuing education opportunities to meet the rising eye care needs of the aging population. Since joining together with Brad McCorkle and the staff of Local Eye Site, we have been so impressed with their dedication to providing a professional and informative site to meet the needs of eye staff in the area. Within just hours of posting a new opening we were thrilled to locate a possible candidate. Thanks Brad; we look forward to a long relationship as we anticipate the rapid growth of LES.” June, 2008

“I have met with Brad McCorkle several times and find his approach to be genuine and very professional. He really attempts to partner with his vendors to help them obtain their goals. When meeting with Brad I was looking for a way to communicate about our Continuing Education program as well as discover a new source for those hard to find technicians. Brad listened and we mutually created a solution that met all our needs. I have found several candidates on Brad’s site. To be honest, it is not the volume of resumes we get with Careerbuilder but the quality far exceeds what I find on Careerbuilder.” November, 2008
