Since its inception in 2017, Rex Adams, Chief Executive Officer of EyeSouth Partners, his management team, his doctor leaders, and the committed staff at EyeSouth have achieved nearly 1 million patient visits annually, the largest comprehensive ophthalmology platform in North America, and an industry-leading doctor retention rate.

 

Best Medical and Surgical Speciality Eye Care

 

Since its establishment, EyeSouth Partners has increased by more than 2,000 percent, and it now has approximately 2,500 workers and 250 connected doctors spread throughout 150 sites in eight different states. According to Adams, "We started EyeSouth Partners with a clear vision: to be the top supplier of medical and surgical eye care services with a strict focus on high-quality patient service.” EyeSouth Partners enables optometrists to provide the best medical and surgical specialty eye care available.

Adams is very proud of the company’s services to its patients, who are often on a path to blindness without the intervention of EyeSouth’s doctors and staff. Adams notes, “As our society continues to age and as diabetes and high blood pressure become more common, our eye health gets put at higher risk—threatening our ability to work, live, and enjoy time with loved ones.”

 

Differentiated by Unique Factors

 

EyeSouth believes that by differentiating itself in the provision of healthcare, its business model and ability to execute help. EyeSouth appreciates the value and integrity of each of its local practises, in contrast to the business strategies of some of its rivals, and it is fundamentally of the opinion that healthcare is best provided through local, face-to-face interactions. Each medical affiliate maintains its individual identity after joining forces with EyeSouth. Physicians and employees also receive improved training and support services, which eventually propels their practice operations to the next level and promotes ongoing growth.

“A medical practice may have an existing and well-defined growth plan or a ‘wish list’ of ideas or concepts they wish to pursue, but often struggles to balance and prioritize their need to provide daily critical patient care. When they choose to partner with EyeSouth, doctors and their practices can redirect their focus on the day-to-day operations and the steps and tools needed to support their practice’s growth in the long term. We provide our affiliates with guidance, process management tools, thought leadership, and emerging technologies to unlock their practice’s full potential.”

EyeSouth’s robust administrative and operations management model helps its doctors see more patients through improved staffing models, real estate expansions, staff training, equipment investments, sophisticated strategic growth plans, customized marketing programs, and state-of-the-art technologies that more efficiently help their doctors, staff, and patients.

 

Necessitating Technological Advancements

 

The importance of technology to a company's success is something Adams, a former CEO of a healthcare technology company, is well aware of. His highly qualified physicians and optometrists use the most recent technologies and best practices to enhance employee training and have more effective pre- and post-visit communication with patients.

Adams also mentioned how EyeSouth's emphasis on cooperation, collaboration, and a strong growth attitude throughout the firm is congruent with being selected as one of the "Best Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2022."

“Even though we have grown over 2,000%, EyeSouth is continuing to open multiple new offices, build new surgery centers, invest in state-of-the-art equipment for clinical care, embrace new technologies to support our doctors and staff, and continue to see more and more patients every day,” says Adams. The $26 billion medical/surgical eye care market includes EyeSouth as the largest full-service ophthalmology platform. Given the magnitude of its sector, EyeSouth intends to keep expanding after 2022 in order to provide more physicians and patients with medically necessary, non-deferable care.

 

Grand Vision for the Future

 

Even during the pandemic, EyeSouth continued with its steady growth throughout its localized markets and expanded into new states. Adams remarks, “EyeSouth had over 800,000 patient visits throughout the pandemic. Despite the increased anxiety surrounding in-person medical visits, we ensured each of our practices upheld the proper safety protocols and communicated those measures to our patients. Hence, they knew and felt comfortable coming into our practices for treatment. They were able to leave our offices and be healthier and happier grandparents, parents, spouses, neighbors, friends, and community members, all due to their restored eyesight.”

Because of the patients it serves, EyeSouth is aware of the rising need for these medically essential services as the population ages, people of all ages spend more time on computers and screens, and the prevalence of chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure that have a negative impact on vision. The growing need for medical intervention to address diseases or conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and more is a result of all of these environmental causes. Only half of the estimated 93 million adults in the United States who are at high risk of severe vision loss had seen an eye doctor in the previous 12 months, according to the CDC. Adams concludes, “With this ever-increasing number of Americans requiring critical eyecare, our society and EyeSouth need to continue to innovate and grow, with a true ‘entrepreneurial mindset’ to adapt to America’s increasing number of eyecare patients, requiring the highest quality of medical care so that all can enjoy a productive and rewarding life.”

 

“EyeSouth Partners is committed to empowering eye doctors to deliver the highest quality medical and surgical specialty eye care.”
