In today's healthcare landscape, clinical excellence is only half the equation; ophthalmologists are increasingly required to think as a physician, surgeon, and a CEO. Patient care and outcomes will always be my #1 priority, but to deliver that standard of care, a practice must run efficiently, and our doctors and teams must feel supported and energized. 🚀
It’s exactly like the classic airplane safety instruction: you have to put on your own oxygen mask before you can effectively help others. A burnt-out clinical team—or worse, a non-existent one if a practice is forced to close because it cannot financially sustain itself—simply cannot provide the world-class care that patients deserve. 🛑
For the past 30 years, Ophthalmology Management has been a definitive source for the essential strategies, medical economics, and practice management pearls needed to help eye care practices flourish. 📈
I want to express my sincere gratitude to Chief Medical Editor Dr. Lisa Feulner, MD, PhD, for inviting me to join this esteemed board. It is a true privilege to collaborate under her guidance to deliver real-world tools that help fellow ophthalmologists succeed. 🤝
Looking forward to working alongside Dr. Feulner and a brilliant board of eye care leaders to help shape the next chapter of this publication as it celebrates three decades of impact! 🎉
