Interviewer: Dr. Josephine Pepe, OD

My name is Josephine Pepe and I’m looking for a dedicated, passionate associate to join my dynamic team at Old North Optometry in London, Ontario. I have a deep passion for optometry, eye care, and eye wear, and I thrive working in a collaborative environment. As the Past President of the Ontario Association of Optometrists, I’ve had the privilege of being deeply involved in advocacy, and now I’m excited to bring that energy and expertise back to my practice. If you’re someone who also thrives in a collaborative, patient-centred environment, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Our practice is located in a stunning, beautifully renovated, heritage church, in the picturesque tree-lined neighbourhood of Old North. You will be working just steps from downtown London, featuring cool, independent boutiques, salons, and restaurants—the best in the city. We are just a short walk from The Grand Theatre, Centennial Hall and Canada Life Place, home to the London Knights and London Lightning. Canada Life Place is also the premier venue for Broadway shows and unforgettable concerts, with performances by legendary artists such as Shania Twain, Justin Bieber, The Who, Jelly Roll, and Pearl Jam. The neighbourhood is home to a warm, welcoming community. We’re offering the perfect blend of urban convenience and small-town charm, making it a great place to live and work.

Old North Optometry is a full-scope practice with state-of-the-art equipment, including OCT, Digital Retinal Camera, Neurolens, and Lipiflow/Lipiview II, to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care. Our team is supportive, friendly, and highly skilled, and we take pride in building long-lasting relationships with our patients. With a well-established, loyal clientele and a boutique eyewear dispensary featuring exclusive frame lines, along with common brand name favourites, this is a wonderful opportunity for personal and professional growth.

I’m offering competitive compensation, a flexible schedule, with both full-time and part-time options available, and am open to working with new graduates as well as experienced optometrists. If you’re looking to be part of a fun, contemporary practice where patient care comes first and collaboration is a priority, I’d love to hear from you!

What We Offer:
• A modern, full-scope practice with advanced technology (Visual Eyes EMR, Autophoropter, Autorefractor/Autokeratometer/NCT, Humphreys VF Analyzer, and more)
• Flexible work hours (full-time or part-time options)
• Supportive, collaborative team environment
• Opportunity for mentorship and professional growth
• Boutique eyewear dispensary with exclusive frame lines
• Located in the historic Old North neighbourhood, close to downtown London’s amenities

If you’re licensed to practice in Ontario and are a member in good standing with the OAO, and you’re ready to take the next step in your career while making a meaningful impact on patient care, I’d love to connect. Let’s make a difference together!
