Dr. Richard Carlin: When the practice first started we only saw 39 patients and had one exam room. As we started to grow, the surgery center opened and we started adding doctors. Eventually it grew to what it is now – CarlinVision. Our mission has never been about money. Our mission at CarlinVision is to care for people. I am very thankful for Amy, for the staff, and for all of you that continue to support our mission and care for our patients. Thank you everyone.
Lets continue to increase efficiency. Check in: remember that patients can continue filling out paperwork after they are called back. Techs: testing before seeing the doctor. Check out: check the routing slips to make sure follow ups are booked with the correct doctor. Surgeries: fill cancellation spots and keep waiting lists. Optical: acknowledge patients. Please pick up things in the patient bathrooms and keep them tidy.
We have a new virtual visual field machine. We will train everyone to use it.
