Success stories from Ophthalmology and Optometry candidates, eye care organizations and practices we’ve worked with.

Recruiter with a Knack

Dr. T. Hawkins

Most informative website out there, but the best thing is the person behind the site. Drew does an amazing job, is attentive to your needs, one of the rare individuals who cares about you and about the excellence of his work. Really has a knack for understanding who you are and how to match you to the right person or job. He is the first person I go when either looking to add a partner or looking for a new job myself.

Highly Recommend OjO

N. Torres

I’m struggling to find the right words to express how grateful I am to have worked with Drew to help me fill our Cornea MD position! Drew took the time to understand our practice so he could match the right doctor to our unique group. He never wasted my time by sending candidates that didn’t fit our needs. He truly cares for both the practice and the provider. I highly recommend this company and Drew!

Good Match

Dr. B. McCullen

Drew was an excellent communicator and only presented us with candidates that were good fits for our practice, and I would highly recommend him. His rates are fair and he actually visited our practice to get a better feel for us and what kind of doctor would work best here.

Best I’ve Worked With in 30 Years

J. Dawes

Drew Caldwell and OjO are the BEST!!!! I have worked with recruiters for over 30 years. The quality of candidates, the details of their backgrounds, the references, all are impeccable. Drew’s personal follow-up with me and the candidates is spot on. Plus, his placement rates are affordable and client friendly, I STRONGLY recommend Drew and OjO for your recruitment needs.

Found the Ideal Doctor

Dr. B. Anderson

Drew is remarkable. He represented the perfect Ophthalmologist to take over my practice. He called and interviewed me to see if our values and expectations were a fit. They were! He facilitated our transition at every step. In recent weeks, I have recommended him to colleagues for his expertise, knowledge, and skills.

Great Glaucoma Surgeon

L. Hummel

Our practice was searching for a glaucoma specialist, and Drew was able to connect us with a fantastic physician. The communication that Drew provides between the physician and our practice far exceeded that of other recruiters. Our new specialist has been a great addition to the practice and we will definitely use OjO in the future!

Insight and Help

J. Venzara

Drew has been working with us for several years, consistently bringing us candidates from all over the country to interview. He listens and understands the kind of candidate we were looking for and thoroughly screens candidates. Retina Surgeon positions can be challenging to fill in a small practice. Thank you Drew and OjO for bringing us a quality Retina hire.

Quick, Quality Hire

E. Ziegler

Drew is a pleasure to deal with and the results were almost immediate. Very professional. Would not hesitate to use in the future.

Extremely Helpful

Dr. K. Hecker

Drew Caldwell has been a joy to work with. He puts a great deal of thought into finding a good match between the practice and potential candidates. He has been extremely helpful in providing tips to ensure success. He has been instrumental in helping us to find a provider. We will continue to engage his services with the recruitment process. Highly Recommend!

Thorough, Experienced, Supportive

Dr. P. Smith

I am so grateful that I made a call to OjO (Drew) after finding his website. He brings a wealth of experience to our industry; his sound guidance and support were invaluable in our search for ‘the’ practice and new place to call home. Drew took time to get to know my husband and I, noting our wish list items and dealbreakers, extracurricular activities and lifestyle. He connected us with the right people, and we were able to explore several wonderful opportunities we would not have been introduced to had we not reached out to Drew. We are thrilled about our future and can’t speak highly enough about OjO!

1st Recruiter Experience

Dr. T. Risner

Drew was excellent to work with! I had never used a recruiter before so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but he was able to connect me with a wonderful practice that aligns with my values and clinical interests. I really appreciated his kindness and guidance throughout the process and would highly recommend working with him!

Couldn’t Have Picked a Better Recruiter

Dr. S. Escott

I hit the jackpot when I was connected with Drew Caldwell! He listened to me, learned my interests and goals for my next career and connected me with outstanding opportunities that I probably never would have found! He was right there through all stages of interview, travel, and final contract signing and was so professional and attentive. He responds immediately and he truly cares for his clients. I could not have hand picked a better recruiter; he is in the job he was meant to do!! Anyone who gets an opportunity to work with him is truly fortunate. I am certain we will remain friends! I am truly thankful.

Wise Guidance

Dr. C. Calvo

I can’t speak highly enough of Drew! Easy going, great personality. In a very short time he was able to redirect my initial professional goals to what I was really looking for, even though I was initially doubtful. A true professional in the field. Communication was always fluid and constant. Answered all my questions and concerns from the beginning. Thank you.

Great Match Maker

Dr. C. Frazier

Drew Caldwell was crucial in assisting with my job search. Drew is more than just your typical recruiter. He takes the time to get to know you on a personal level. The entire process of finding a job is overwhelming. Drew is a calming force that is much needed! He does not hound you for answers, he gives you the time and space you need to make an educated decision about your dream job. He will give you his honest opinion when asked. Drew truly gives his heart and soul into his work. You can tell he cares. I have recommended him to numerous colleagues already. I would trust Drew as your “match maker” whether you are a hiring practice or looking for your dream job!

Caring Coach

Dr. J. Hunt

Drew worked harder for me than any other recruiter I dealt with (lots) and was more compassionate and understanding than all of them. He coached me well and was a great motivator. I can’t say enough about him, and he helped me more than he can ever know. He is excellent at what he does.

Professional, Ethical, Personable

Dr. J. Mandell

Drew is a pleasure to work with. He is always professional, highly competent, and is ethical. He takes the time to get to know you on a personal level to make sure the position is a good fit. I highly recommend him!
