Takeaways:
- Be consistent and resilient. Success in any field, including optometry, requires consistency and the ability to bounce back from failures. Keep trying and don't get discouraged by setbacks.
- Always put your patient's needs first. Effective communication from the moment they enter to the moment they leave your practice ensures a superior patient experience.
- Focusing on specialized services like NeuroLens, Ortho-K, and Dry Eye treatments, which are often not covered by insurance, can provide additional revenue streams while enhancing patient care.
- When purchasing or opening a new practice, choose a location where you live and are part of the community. Your presence and involvement in the community can significantly contribute to your practice's success.
- Invest more in treatment options rather than diagnostics. Patients are more interested in treatments that resolve their issues than in knowing detailed diagnostics without actionable solutions.
- Be proactive in prescribing necessary products like prescription sunglasses and computer glasses. Educate your patients about the benefits and trust they will follow through, even if it's out of pocket.
- Continuous learning and adapting to new technologies and treatments are crucial. Attend seminars, educational events, and always stay updated with the latest in your field.
