We opened our doors one year ago today! From the very start, we have been on a mission to build the very best eye care practice in the area. The growth and support we have seen this year has been overwhelming. I am so honored and humbled by the trust this community has shown me.
Being a practice owner is a dream that I have been chasing for more than 15 years. After 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, 4 years of residency and another 3 years at a different practice, it was so hard to "start over" and hit the reset button on my career. Things were going well, but I couldn't get this idea out of my head; that I could spend more time with patients, provide a better service, and enjoy a higher level of freedom for me and my family. At one year in, this practice has been everything I could have hoped for. I really believe we are doing exceptional work for our patients and taking care of them in ways that matter, in ways that larger or busier practices can't deliver. I've grown as a surgeon, as a leader, and as a human being, and I'm excited to see that growth continue into the next year and beyond.
To my patients, I want to say thank you for your trust. I'm eternally grateful that so many of you chose to follow me from my last practice, and I will continue to work hard to live up to the reputation you've given me in this community.
To my wife and my family, words cannot express how much your support has meant over this past year. It's not an exaggeration that I never would have made it this far without you cheering me on. It takes a special kind of patience to hear me say, "Hang on, just a little longer..." and "One day this will all be worth it..." and choose to keep believing in me all this time. I love you dearly.
Cheers to one year, and to many more to come!
