 Client Success Stories“Williams Group provided help with everything from acquiring and readying a location, creating a logo, planning an initial frame board, hiring and training staff, and planning a grand opening. Every step of the way, I could call and ask questions to see what would work best. I have been open for almost a year and am so pleased. I have a great staff that is truly motivated to do what is best for the patient and therefore what is best for our practice (our average revenue-per-patient is consistently over $400). I was even voted “Best Optometrist” by the readers of the local paper. Williams Group has significantly impacted my success. I do not think I would be this far along had I not utilized their services.” - Somer Lyons, O.D. | Minden, Nevada |
 Client Success Stories"When I was planning to open my own practice, I consulted a colleague of mine who was grossing over a million dollars a year in a 1500 square foot office. I wanted to know what he considered to be the key to his success and was prepared to write down a long list of recommendations. Instead, he told me that he only had one piece of advice: take the Williams Group FastStart Program. I was concerned about the cost of the program, but my colleague told me to borrow the money if necessary – that the program would pay for itself many times over." "Five years later, I can say with confidence that was the best advice I could have received. The FastStart program exceeded my expectations and provided the guidance and practical advice I needed to launch my practice. I broke even within two months of opening my doors, and my practice continues to grow despite the downturn in the economy. Best of all, Williams Group has provided me the keys to a balanced life – I now have more time with my husband and our five children, ages 9 and under." "I cannot recommend Williams Group more highly. Anyone considering opening a new practice should attend. Borrow the money if you have to; in six months you will look back at the cost of the program and consider it a bargain." - Allyson Mertins, O.D. | Fayetteville, AR |
 Client Success Stories"It is truly my pleasure to express our gratitude to Williams Group for providing our optometric clinic with essential tools that have enabled many years of practice growth. We were new grads who had just purchased an established practice, when we signed on the Williams team. Over the course of a number of months, we focused our attention on every aspect of patient contact, from telephone technique to the pre-test area, the exam room, and the optical, and from internal marketing to external marketing. Williams Group helped us to discover that what really matters is “the patient experience.” After 20 years of practice, we are still guided by Williams Group philosophies and we continue to use the tools that we were given every day. The reward is the loyalty that’s created by providing our patients with the best level of eye care possible.” - Howard Dolman, O.D. | New Hamburg, Ontario |
 Client Success Stories“Williams Group taught me everything I needed to become a successful business/practice manager. They showed me how to operate the optical dispensary, market my practice, and schedule patients for efficiency. Williams Group guided me step-by-step on how to operate the business side of the practice. Even in my first year of private practice, I estimate that I earned what I paid for Williams Group several times over – and that multiple keeps growing each and every year. Williams Group helps private practices not only remain a viable option, but also flourish in a very competitive business environment. Williams Group can and will take your talented and successful practice and make it more successful.” - Kirk Kvitle, O.D. | Quincy, Illinois |
 Client Success Stories“Our practice's growth was beginning to decline, and we wanted to achieve more. So we decided to team up with Williams Group to bring our practice to the next level of success. We trusted Williams Group's experience, and we worked hard to follow every recommendation they gave us. “The results have been tremendous! We grew by 25%, and are now on track to gross $1 million on one doctor, just 6 years after we started our practice! Williams Group helped us lower our cost-of-goods-sold, and our revenue-per-patient is up by $42/patient. We are so thrilled with our results, and we look forward to consistent growth for years to come.” - Jason Holtom, O.D. & Tedra Kindopp, O.D. | Red Deer, Canada |
 Client Success StoriesAfter graduation from optometry school, I decided to dive into practice ownership. I wanted to make sure my lack of ownership experience wouldn't jeopardize my financial investment, so I hired Williams Group to teach me how to think like a business owner. Now I could not imagine opening a cold-start practice without their guidance. They gave me the tools I needed to make informed decisions to build a successful practice. I learned how to analyze locations, begin marketing efforts, create floor plans for maximum patient flow and do basic practice accounting. After the practice opened, Williams Group continued guiding and supporting me. I learned to analyze practice statistics and attended executive training twice—once with my staff. With their recommendations, my practice reached average per-patient revenue of more than $375. We continually have an 86% anti-reflective capture rate, as well as 40% transitions sales. Our pre-appoint success rate is more than 50% after only one year of implementation. Ultimately, everything Williams Group taught me falls into this philosophy: "What's good for the patient is good for the business." - Rachael Click, O.D. | Mount Pleasant, SC |
 Client Success Stories“After the passing of my father, I went from seeing my first private practice patient to becoming the CEO of a 35 year old office – all within eight months. I struggled through the first few years of practice and realized I needed help. I decided to hire the experts at Williams Group. After going through the FastTrack program, we experienced double-digit increases in revenue – some months we were up 30 to 40 percent. Today, my office is much more organized and efficient. We are having a lot of fun while providing better care and services for our patients. The Williams Group FastTrack program is truly something you and your staff must experience.” - Gregory Kame, O.D. | Los Angeles, California |
