More about Commonwealth Eye Surgery

The work is moderate sedation with midazolam, fentanyl, and ketamine—not propofol—and the posting is clear that you work all areas as needed when the day's priorities shift. This is a private company headquartered in Lexington, listed at 1–50 people. A July 2025 RN said coworkers were the best part of the job, called the center an outstanding place to work, and described a fast-paced room with music playing and prolonged standing as the main stressor. Glassdoor shows 4.5 from five ratings and 78% would recommend; that one nurse review is a 5.0. Multiple 2025 Indeed reviews say new executive leadership made the culture toxic and that clinical and clerical staff left after terminations. Indeed puts pay and benefits at 4.0, job security and advancement at 2.5, and management and culture at 2.8. Day-to-day balance reports do not agree: Glassdoor work-life is 4.4 and Indeed is 3.2.
