The economy going through changes. Many companies are raising prices and feeling the negative pressure of changes. This is the time to stand out and provide better quality care. Patients will appreciate it and I hear it all the time how much they love it here. 

Despite the economy, we are looking at adding new technology, such as crosslinking and special lenses in optical. New technology will allow us to treat patients better and keep them in the practice, not refer out. Please refer within the practice if possible. Patients hold us accountable for the physicians we recommended.
