Our guest today is Dr. Adam Ramsey who is the owner of Socialite Vision in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. We talked about prioritizing your time both in and out of the practice, finding the next right associate in private practice, common misconceptions optometry students have, and more!

About Dr. Ramsey: 

Born and raised on the island of Trinidad & Tobago, Dr. Ramsey dreamed of becoming a doctor and helping people. Setting his sights on becoming an optometrist, he graduated from the University of Florida and went on to Southern College of Optometry (SCO) where he obtained his Doctorate of Optometry.

While practicing Optometry at several retailers, Dr. Ramsey had a vision of opening his own store where eyeglasses & sunglasses were selected based on style and craftmanship rather than industry favorites. The result: Socialite Vision. Eye Care With Style.

When it comes to improving his practice, Adam Ramsey, OD, looks to set trends instead of following them, and he does so by looking outside of eye care for inspiration. Because at Socialite Vision in Palm Beach Gardens, Fl., going above and beyond for patients is at the core of the experience—and exceeding expectations is the standard. Every patient visit is carefully curated to the wants and needs of the individual; no two patients receive the same exam or same product offerings.

Over the past few years, Dr. Ramsey has made it his mission to help with the issue of diversity and inclusion in the eye care space. In 2019, he co-founded Black Eyecare Perspective, a nonprofit organization designed to cultivate lifelong relationships between African Americans and the eye care industry. In May 2022, Dr. Ramsey was awarded the New England College of Optometry Presidential Medal for his work through Black Eyecare Perspective.
