Partnerships

“As a sole owner of a successful rural practice, the challenges of being a business owner were ever present. Joining FYidoctors provided me the peace of mind that I was partnering with likeminded people who had the interest of my patients before profits. The evaluation process was transparent and straight forward leading to an offer presentation that exceeded expectations.

Looking back a year after partnering with FYi, I have no regrets with joining this optometry lead organization.  I feel supported in every aspect from operations to recruitment of new doctors to my clinics. This has been a mutually beneficial relationship, and I look forward to my continued journey with FYi.”

“The process of joining FYidoctors was detailed and comprehensive, which gave us confidence every step of the way. The merger team was fantastic, always available, and highly knowledgeable. I won’t lie, there were hiccups along the way, but that would be expected with change. What mattered most was that I always felt heard and that my issues were taken seriously when they came up. The support team ensured we adjusted well to new systems and processes and were there whenever we needed them.

One year later, our clinic is thriving and continuing to grow. Personally, it has been a breath of fresh air. I can now focus fully on practicing optometry rather than worrying about accounting, payroll, and administrative responsibilities. FYI has helped expand my dry eye practice and provided opportunities to pilot new treatments and emerging technology. A year later, I am confident this was the right decision for our clinic. I believe it will only become more challenging for independent practices to thrive in isolation. I am proud to be part of this organization and excited for the future. I truly feel that FYi has a vision I stand behind.”

“Since our merger with FYi, I now feel confident that our clinics have the backing needed to thrive in a space that has become more congested and more competitive than any other time in my 30-year career.  For the future of our employees and the long-term care of our patients, this merger has brought me peace of mind.  Zero regrets!”

“Partnering with FYidoctors through the Campus Vision merger was a transparent, data-driven, and professionally managed process. The valuation was clear and fair, which gave me confidence in both the numbers and the structure of the transaction.  The integrations team was organized, responsive, and instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition.

I continue to serve as Lead OD with direction over my schedule and clinical care, while gaining the operational infrastructure, back-office support, and purchasing power of a larger organization. Investments in equipment such as Optomap have strengthened our clinical offering and positioned the practice for long-term stability and growth.”

“24 years ago, with my business partner, Dr. Hari Amarnath, we embarked on a journey which continues to evolve in exciting ways. With three employees and a rather empty schedule, we desired to create, to quote my esteemed buddy, “the best eye clinic in the universe.” […]

Two years ago, we met up with FYi. We were not looking for an exit strategy; coming to work each day still gave our lives great purpose and satisfaction. We still have years of practicing optometry in us. FYi didn’t come along to wind down the story. It was a continuation of that dream, but with less administration. No longer were we responsible for external marketing, IT issues, equipment maintenance, and my personal favorite, CRA phone calls. At our recent one-year anniversary, the home office visited our teams to support and reinforce the same messages we have been preaching for 24 years. We found in FYidoctors the perfect fit.”

“I have now been part of FYidoctors for about 3.5 years. People often ask me if I regret becoming part of this great organization. My answer without hesitation is “no, I don’t regret it at all.” […] They have been super supportive, listened, been respectful, and reasonable as they have helped our office make this transition. I sleep better at night knowing that the full weight of the success of the office doesn’t fall just on my shoulders. I am still part of the leadership team of our office, but I am now part of a team to help build our success. I have found FYidoctors does not want to change the culture that we have built. In fact, they want to keep what we did to be successful intact and have made every effort to support that, while looking for ways to help us improve. They have provided opportunities to my staff that I never would have been able to give as a sole proprietor and have added many tools to help position ourselves in a competitive marketplace. I have found that the philosophy of the organization, “doctor-led and patient-focused,” are not empty words.”
