In this 45-minute session, Dr. Alan Glazier and Cory Pinegar get real about what it takes to run a modern optometry practice. We’ll frame the challenges owners feel right now: higher overhead, tighter pay, and changing patient expectations. From there, we’ll dig into the moves that matter:
- Cost & Profitability: What’s changed most in the last 5 years, and why some high-revenue practices still struggle to profit.
- Increasing Appointments: Simple, proven ways to add more booked visits each day and lift profitability.
- HR & Staffing: The biggest people challenges, how to decide what only the doctor should do vs. delegate, and how to hire for candidates who stay.
