VISION THERAPY
PRACTICE MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
Proven Results from a World Class Team
Our consulting is different.
You'll work with an optometrist that has built several successful vision therapy clinics, a financial consultant that has worked with some of the biggest firms in the country, and a COVT that has trained hundreds of therapists and is a master teacher.
We have 3 levels of consulting that will fit any practice situation. Whether you're just starting out, looking to add vision therapy to an existing primary care practice, or running an established vision therapy clinic, we have the tools you need to elevate your practice. The tools build on each other and any money used to purchase one can be applied to the next level.
To see if our practice management consulting is right for you, schedule a free consult with Dr. Winters.
