The OD Accelerator

Every optometry practice—and every owner—is unique, which is why my consulting approach is never one-size-fits-all. Need help with a specific challenge? We can tackle it virtually with a focused, problem-solving plan. But for the biggest impact, nothing beats an in-person, high-yield 1.5 to 2-day deep dive into your practice. This investment pays dividends not just in the short term, but for years to come.

I follow a proven framework to maximize results, but every plan is fully customized to fit your goals, challenges, and interests—without adding extra stress. Together, we’ll implement real strategies at a pace that works for you, setting your practice up for sustainable growth, profitability, and long-term success.
