Is it possible to build a specialty-focused cold-start optometry practice? Do you need to take insurance or have an optical?

Dr. Miki Lyn Zilnicki and Dr. Jessica Licausi join Evon to talk about how they built their cold-start optometry practice, Twin Forks Optometry. What's fascinating about their practice is it's been a pure specialty practice focused on vision therapy from day one. They've never had an optical and take very few insurance plans. Seven years later, the practice continues to thrive. 

They walk through how they had such a clear vision for their practice, how they grew the business, and lessons they learned through the process. There's a lot to take away whether you're an optometrist thinking about cold-starting or already opened your doors and are thinking about what's next.
