Continuing to work on wait times. Currently in the process of revamping the phone scripts. Please follow the script if you are making appointments. We need to find out what’s wrong with it.

Crosslinking – Now FDA approved to be done with the epithelium on.

Lasik numbers are down across the country. Offer Lasik evaluations at the front desk and as you are working up a patient. If you notice a patient has droppy lids, tell them about Bleph.

Make sure you are coming to work on time and on time for the morning huddles. We can’t be on time if we start late.
