Charles Kim, O.D.

From my heart, I am delighted to recommend Firstsight Vision Services as your next optometric practice. I have been practicing optometry for 33 years and my scope of practice include military optometry, private office, employee position, and medical group with ophthalmologists. Out of all the different optometric modalities, my years with Firstsight stand out as very fulfilling and headache/hassle free, making my life easy. I tribute such experience due to fantastic support from the District Manager and Firstsight corporate leaders. If you decide to work as Firstsight OD, I guarantee you have made the right decision and will not have any regrets. The office will bear your name, and you are in charge from day one. I have had 15+ satisfying years with Firstsight and I firmly believe you will too. I wish you the best. Dr Kim, OD

Subleasing with FirstSight has provided me a platform to do what I love: Connecting with people and helping to improve their quality of life through eye exam service. I appreciate the freedom to set my own pace so that I can control how much time I want to spend with each patient depending on their individual needs. I am grateful for the mentorship and partnership with my district manager at FirstSight because I can receive support and help in running my optometry clinic. There is a sense of ownership that comes with being a sublease optometrist at FirstSight. The fact that it is my business and FirstSight is there to support, There is also a sense of community with other optometrists at FirstSight. Knowing that there are other doctors who can relate to my daily experiences and growth gives me an added sense of comfort and confidence.

Subleasing my practice with FirstSight has given me the opportunity to balance motherhood and my career. The flexibility allows me to open my practice three days each week and still be fully engaged with my two young boys. FirstSight leadership has always been extremely supportive of my practice and this has been exemplified even more during this pandemic.

I appreciate the FirstSight business model because it allows me to concentrate more on primary care optometry and less on practice management. This setting allows me to experience a wide range of patient populations and I have the independence to practice the scope of optometry necessary to meet their needs.

First Sight Vision Services is a great company to work with. I have been with First Sight Vision Services for more than 10 years. They gave me a great opportunity as a New Grad and they have also allowed me to grow with them and as my optometry career moved forward. First Sight Vision has allowed me to schedule patients in a timely matter, so my patients never feel rushed. They have allowed me to control my own staff and payroll options. They have also given me the means to run a successful practice with very low overhead. The best part of working with First Sight Vision Services is that you never feel alone. You can always count on your District Manager and First Sight Vision staff if you have any questions. Moreover, you also have a great community of optometrists who are only one phone call away. Even though we are all independent; we are all here to help each other.

You have planted your optometric garden of services and now need everything to bloom into the spectacular beauty of a successful practice. These tips are useful for any location no matter how new or how established.

You can’t improve your practice if you aren’t at your practice. It really is important for the doctor to be present in the office during contracted/operating hours. Arriving late, leaving early, extended lunches may happen once in a great while, but it should not be a normal thing since patients do pay attention to the schedule.

Just as with a garden, you have to weed out the practice on a regular basis. This means keeping a tidy exam lane and front desk area. It really makes sense to keep the entire office clean and organized. Take a moment to clean that pretest table every time between patients, keep lined trash bins in every room so trash is easy to collect and remove every day and keep the surfaces of all other counter/desk tops clean and clutter free so it makes it easier to wipe down each day. These little extra steps will help keep those little dust bunnies at bay.

An idea could also be take a before and after picture of your office. Always strive to maintain and even improve on making that after picture your goal at the end of each day. Set a specific day of the week to compare pictures and don’t make excuses for not keeping to that date.

Pay attention to yourself and how you interact with patients and even with the associates in our host environment. Make sure that you are presenting the best you that you can be. You may not be having a great day for whatever reason, but it is important that those you interact with are not impacted by this. It can be a challenge because sometimes the other person is just not cooperating but taking the high road will have its benefits in the long run.

Patients really are given so many options in the world today of where they can choose to get healthcare needs met. Your goal is to be the best one. Keep your office clean, be in the office as scheduled and being the most friendly and professional provider are just some of the things that patients are looking for.
