Dr. Max Raynor, Professional Eye Care
Benson & Clinton, NC, owner of Heidelberg HRTs and Marco 3-D Waves
Dr. Raynor was one of the first doctors in North Carolina to purchase the HRTs and the retina software, owning his HRTs for approximately five years. He chose the HRTs because of understandable reports and little need for dilation. Dr. Raynor has owned his 3-D Waves for approximately four years and purchased them because of the advanced technology with respect to corneal molding, refractive surgery and wavefront guided contacts.
"Special testing is one of the most profitable aspects of an optometry practice, especially when a practice is pathology based and/or has a heavy percentage of senior citizens... spe3cial testing has added $200,000 per year to my practice's gross revenue."
"I believe that trend analysis on the HRTs is the best diagnostic tool we have in monitoring glaucomatous progression. Even more prevalent in the diabetic population, the detection of diabetic macular edema before it can be seen any other way is especially valuable, and will become more valuable as new drugs enter the market to halt the4 progression of DME... Another plus is that patients can understand what you are looking for, and feel good that they are getting the b est care possible."
"Jim, Eric and every0one at Carolina Optics go much further than just selling you a piece of equipment. They deal in new technology and work hard to help you understand applications of the equipment, coding issues, etc.... they go the extra mile to make your equipment purchase a success.
Dr. Elmore, American Eye Care Optometric Center
Fayetteville, NC, owner of an HRT and Kowa nonmyd a-D
"From our current patient base (we were doing 15-20 visual fields per month), we have been using HRT 30-40 times per month which has both improved the care we provide to our patients and has increased our practice's gross revenue by 20%!"
"Our purchase of the Kowa nonmyd a-D digital camera has made such a difference in the efficiency of moving patients through the exam. We can see nearly twice the number of patients we could before moving to digital with the Kowa."
"We are very happy with both the products and the service and would highly recommend the HRT and Kowa products from Carolina Optics, Inc. to any practice."
Dr. Teague & Dr. Ellington, Eyecare Center
Winston-Salem, NC, rental customers
Dr. Teague and Dr. Ellington at the Eyecare Center of Winston-Salem, NC have been renting the HRT for two years from Carolina Optics. The main reasons we rent is to have available the latest technology, operated by knowledgeable staff, and to have continuity of data on our patients. "Without the HRT's data, as a clinician, I would hesitate to treat glaucoma and probably refer patients out." Referring out would mean lost revenue to the practice. "I would be pleased if HRT rental simply paid for itself, considering the clinical advantage, but it does very well in revenue production when patients are scheduled effectively."
The staff at Carolina Optics have been "very responsive. All have been very knowledgeable and pleasant." |
