Accomplishments
I 'm proud to bring patient centric care and excellent communication skills to all of my patients. How I practice has led to very high patient satisfaction feedback, as shown by online physician review sites. Patient trust and respect has been earned through providing an excellent patient care experience to them during a stressful transition while Kalin Eye Associates was absorbed into the Eye Physicians & Surgeons group.
During my first year with Eye Physicians & Surgeons I was able to be a part of the team which successfully integrated Kalin Eye Associates into the newest Eye Physicians & Surgeons practice site. While working through this change I was able to see, treat and co-manage our new and existing patients along with the newly formed in-house medical team. The patients I cared for during this transition year resulted in the practice earning over 1.1 million dollars in billable treatments from an average of 18 patients per day.
