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.

Most of us think about writing a business plan when we start a business. How many of us go back and review that plan to make sure you are on course? Sometimes things beyond your control may change the direction of your original plan. A good idea is to not only review your business plan at least once a year, but be prepared to update it as you complete certain goals or need to add new goals. If you have not written a business plan or can’t locate your original one, take the time to prepare one for your practice now.

Some of the key components to include in your practice plan may be:

A company summary/description.
What services will you offer?
What is your Mission Statement?
What are some of the strengths of your business (ie., location/hours of operation etc).
Marketing plans/Growth of Practice
- Social media
- Website
- Online scheduling
- Any services that you plan to add
Competitors
- Identify your local competitors and identify how you can set yourself apart from them
- Know your target patient base

It is also a good idea to share your business plan with your staff. Enlist them to help you achieve your goals. They may have ideas to share with you on achieving your objectives. Having their “buy in” makes your job much easier. Also, feel free to share your plan with your District Manager. Your District Manager wants you to succeed and they work with many other offices and may be able to share some tips with you. And finally, make sure that your goals are attainable and have specific objectives. Put some time on your calendar every month to check where you are with achieving your goals.
