oh, and as a funny aside, I actually applied to Dr. Joel Kestenbaum’s practice before finally landing in the current practice I work at. How ironic, no?

Dr. Won, thank you for commenting and offering your knowledge and experience. Just another example of how flexible establishing a practice can be. In regards to your offer, I will be contacting you soon for information about that. I am always looking to learn more about establishing a career in Optometry and different ways to go about it. Thanks again!

For the last four years, I’ve been a practicing OD in Group OD practice (owned and operated by an OD). We are located within a Lenscrafters store, but we do function mostly autonomously with a few “rules” we have to play by. We are renting the space, but the practice has been there for the last 25 years, so we’re a bit of a fixture at this point. If anybody would like information about this type of practice setting, I’m more than willing to share my experiences. It IS nice not having to bother much with the optical/dispensing aspect of the job so we can focus almost exclusively on care. I find the situation to be ideal for me.
