I have been to your seminar twice, first time just to see the hype and boy was it good and then second time to actually buckle down! You would think why would I need to go twice but I’ve learned so much each time I’m there. We all know what we need to do to get our practice thriving but we all are afraid to put into actions our thoughts! But your seminar gave me the confidence to do what I need to do. After my first seminar I went back and within a year dropped all my visin plans (with the exception of two) and Medicaid and said “I’m done working for pennies! I just want ‘A’ patients and to hell with those ‘D’ patients!” My staff thought I was crazy but we actually increase profit that year by at least 12%! The second seminar I went becaucse I actually wanted to get my ortho K practice into gear and I have implemented lots of what you taught us. I continue to change my practice for the better each time I go to your seminar and thank you to you and your awesome seminars I have the confidence to know I can build the practice of my dreams without working so hard! Best wishes and Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! (my staff thanks you too because they don’t have to deal with those crappy vision plan patients anymore!)

I attended twice before but I am intrigued and excited as I know there will be new fresh ideas I will be able to pull from the workshop. My first time was in 2008, then again in 2013, it is time to take it again. Last year we signed up an average of 25 new ortho-k patients per month, some months we surpassed the 40 patients signed-up ceiling. Vision and/or medical insurance are no longer the first source of revenue in our practice, it has been like that for a few years now. Up to 50% of all new business comes from ortho-k. Many of the systems, strategic planning and in-office protocols that we have created over the years have the base and inspiration in Supercharge. I could say that Dr. D.’s Supercharge, the desire to succeed and a bit of hard work has given us a higher level of freedom, setting the road to our success. I am very appreciative of that. Thanks for putting this wonderful course together.

Without your SuperchargeYourPractice at VBD 2013, I would have left thinking, “wow, that was a cool conference.” But I’m not sure I would have had that push I was looking for from someone else out there like me who wanted to and could do more than any other eye professional has dreamed of.
I thank you for that as I now see patients from 7:30-3 Monday, 7:30-3 Tuesday, have my CEO day on Wednesday and then see patients again 7:30-3 Thursday and 7:30-noon Friday. I pick both of my kids up from 1st grade and pre-kindergarten and haven’t missed a game or practice in 2 years. And 2016 is going to be even bigger and more exciting for my practice.
You Were My Catalyst. I’m eternally grateful.
-Jeff Klosterman, OD
I attended SuperCharge in 2012. Since then, my practice has changed tremendously! My practice’s main income came from VSP and we were doing about 2-3 Ortho-K per month at that time. Since taking Dr. D’s course we’ve grown 10 fold! Following his recommendation I dropped insurance companies and now the majority of my income comes from Ortho-K services. We see on average 20-30 new Ortho-K patients per month!….The information you learn from his course will change YOUR life. I have been enjoying so much more quality time with my family.
Connie Vuong, OD
I have attended SuperCharge twice and each time I get something new out of it, most importantly, the new goals I’ve set for my practice and my for my life. What I have learned works for building any specialty and I have used these methods over and over again. The most important thing that I learned is never give up. Dr. D has been a constant role model for me. His generosity and obvious love for what he does and the ability to give it back is truly inspirational.
Arlene Schwartz, OD
I’ve worked hard practicing 6 – 7 days a week since I’ve graduated. I dabbled in Ortho-K and then cautiously attended my first SuperCharge not knowing what to expect. This course was really exciting and it gave me all the necessary tools to succeed. But, what I didn’t expect was that it also inspired me to think about a purpose-driven life based on my individual values. Since that time, I’ve attended SuperCharge 4 times! Each time I attended the course evolved and challenged me in new ways. Every year, I found myself stepping out of my comfort zone which was never easy for me, personally. I’ve reduced my time in the office and spend quality time with my wife and young kids, especially on Saturdays. This was strange for me as I was always use to trading my time for income when dealing vision care plans. The journey was never easy, but so worth it.
Jonathan Cho, MS, OD
My ortho-K clinic is taking great shape since I attended SuperCharge. I am constantly coming back to the materials and I find all the answers I need. I would recommend it to everybody who wants to grow their CRT clinic .
Sylwia Szewczyk OD
Supercharge was the most dynamic and inspiring workshop I have ever attended. It has me seeing the practice of my craft in a whole new, exciting way! With what I learned I am moving forward with more confidence than ever and I know I CAN practice the way I want to with more time for my family AND better care for my patients.
Samantha Hornberger, O.D.
THANK YOU! I went home after the SuperCharge and told my family about how I conquered my fears and karate chopped a board! That was the best way to wake us up and get fired up. More importantly, thank you for your advice and all the preparation that went into that workshop. I could tell it was well planned and a lot of thought went into making it worth our while. Thanks again for your concern and compassion! AND YOUR TIME! In reality that is all we have that is truly valuable.
Valerie Lam, OD
You are a teacher of adjustment, analysis and delivery of valuable information that should be properly delivered to our patients. I was completely impressed. Keep up the great work. You present Passion.
John Patterson
CEO, Marietta Vision
Thank you so much for everything! I thoroughly enjoyed SuperCharge. I will continue to do what I have been doing, even better with what you have taught. Thank you so much for everything.
Bridgette Yeoh, Optometrist
I like Nick’s style because of his motivational ability and commonsensical approach. Most anyone can present the technical info, but Nick transcends the mundane and gets you wanting to charge up the hill and get it done!
Thanks for the great experience at SuperCharge. As I write this I am still jazzed from breaking the board. As I was listening to the presentation I knew I was in the right place. Thanks for helping to identify my excuses to not make my life and practice the way I want it.
Jason Bolenbaker, OD
Attending SuperCharge has changed my corneal reshaping practice dramatically. I attended a second time hoping to be re-energized and focused to implement more of your programs. I received that and more! I was surprised at how much the presentation and materials changed. I highly recommend SuperCharge even for those who have attended before.
Kelvin Van Voorst, OD
I just want to say thanks so much for your seminar. It was definitely the best one I’ve ever attended. Can’t wait until next year.
Jason Oilar, O.D.
I thank you for producing possibly the most important seminar of my career. SuperCharge was mind blowing in many ways. You went above and beyond the norm. You made me believe that I can be “different”. That I can be “more”. That I can achieve what I believed to be unachievable in this climate in our industry. The reason I believe it is because you gave us EVERYTHING we need to make it happen. You made us think about WHY we want to make changes. You gave us the tools for HOW to make the changes, be a better leader, and hire better staff! That alone is priceless AND you made it fun. Dancing! Singing! Breaking Boards! You are changing lives. You bring hope and excitement.
It was extremely useful to go over the pricing and levels for the practice duringthe workshop. The next day in the office, I was able to confidently explain specialty CL treatment. Before, I was quoting low fees and miserable trying to manage the high maintenance that goes with complex fits. SuperCharge has given me the tools to definitely help my patients to the best of my abilities. I can’t wait to go to the workshop next year!
This event was a practice-changing experience, maybe a life changing one. We admire Dr. D’s honesty for sharing his own practice challenges. We were provided with a comprehensive roadmap to success for our specialty lens practice that we have applied to other areas of our practice

I want to wholeheartedly thank you! I enjoyed SuperCharge so much and I’m in awe of how much preparation and thought has gone into putting together such an informative and inspiring seminar! You have really put your heart and soul into giving us all your knowledge and I am so grateful for it! I hope to stay “supercharged” and make my life even more fulfilling by making my practice more successful!
Shefali Miglani, OD
You’re amazing! Thank you for talking about fear and how to fight through it. Thanks for all the work you put into SuperCharge. I’m working with my Power Practice consultant to put your stuff into action, so I just wanted to take a second to say THANK YOU.
Amie Gisbert, O.D.
I am just as excited now, as I was when I was a student and attended your workshop almost ten years ago! I needed to take the time to say thank you and you are one of my greatest inspirations.
Nate Schramm, OD, CNS
Thank you so much for your passion, enthusiasm and expertise! You hit a home run again. I can feel the momentum rising and I’m riding the wave, not being swept over by fear and indecision. You have helped me in ways you can’t even know. Thank you a thousand times!
Charlene Henderson, OD
SuperCharge was a success for me. I needed help to continue to improve my game and stay motivated! All of the new information is a huge help!
Steve Gross, OD
A big thank you for an outstanding seminar! I attended last year and wasn’t sure if a second year would be of benefit but, WOW. I can tell you put a significant amount of time into keeping it new and fresh.
John Anderson, O.D.
SuperCharge is valuable not only if you are interested in adding ortho-K but gives you the concepts and guidelines to improve all aspects of your office. Nothing worthwhile is easy, but it sure is profitable!
James Tuel, OD
I am actively pursuing the things I learned at SuperCharge. I lectured at a Chinese school in front of 30 people about the myopia epidemic! We are also in the process of changing our culture and are planning to Drop VSP within 2 years time.
Matthew Martin, OD
Since attending SuperCharge I have doubled my program fees. Most are converting and scheduling a consultation within two months of the initial presentation. These methods work.
Nelson Hassell, O.D.
I made the journey from Australia to SuperCharge. Our practice had been doing ortho-K but it hadn’t taken off in a big way. This presentation explained exactly we needed to do in order to take orthokeratology from a peripheral interest to a core part of the practice. Dr. D’s obvious passion and genuine desire to help others made it the most motivating seminar of my entire career. After the event I was provided with excellent personalized email support to help implement the new ideas.

Dr. D did a wonderful job presenting a high energy, no nonsense approach to changing your practice. He helped me see new ways to find more enjoyment in what we do while being compensated for our efforts.
The material was well organized and detailed. Dr. D’s actions during and after the seminar confirm that he is passionate about helping others. He followed up with me after the seminar and answered questions and provided support. I am currently making positive changes in my practice because of Dr D’s seminar.
Cody Jones OD
Blackfoot, Idaho
I am truly passionate about Ortho-K, but I didn’t realize I was losing money until I attended SuperCharge. Dr. D gave one of the best seminars I ever attended. He has invigorated me to practice the way I want to practice. The course and materials pay for themselves many times over.
Michael Duong, OD
SuperCharge was the best seminar I have ever attended. Dr. D rocks! It was obvious tons of time went into preparing Supercharge and the attention to detail was simply astonishing. I’m implementing many of your ideas and am excited about taking my practice to a new level Thanks again, from one of your raving fans!
H. Jeff Ward, OD
The most descriptive word for SuperCharge is “powerful”. The most important thing that I learned from this course is how to make a personal commitment to carry out my marketing plan in vigor. My practice certainly benefited by attending the course.
Dennis Leung OD., F.O.A.A.
Attending SuperCharge was one of the best investments I have made in growing my corneal reshaping practice. The information provided was invaluable and I was able to implement some of Dr. D’s ideas immediately and set long term goals as well. The attention to detail was outstanding. I appreciate Dr. D’s willingness to be available to answer any questions that I have had since attending the seminar. I highly recommend SuperCharge for both new and seasoned practitioners.
Kraig Abe, OD, FAAO, FIAO
I have always considered Dr. D one of the best marketers in the optometric world. He has a wonderful story and shares his professional development with the group. After attending the seminar, I left feeling energized, excited and hopeful. With the present economic challenges we face SuperCharge is a must attend.
David P. Bartels OD FOAA
Being a pediatric specialty contact lenses practice our capture rate for corneal reshaping was rather low and I kept wondering where I was going wrong. Even though Dr. D was speaking to a large group I felt that he was personally addressing me. He completely understood everything I was going through and his approach is refreshing and invigorating. A few months after the seminar my corneal refractive program had enrolled more patients in 9 months than a few years. Dr. D is a true gem to the Optometric community with his unparalleled drive, passion and knowledge. His seminar is a must for any contact lens specialty practice.
Moshe Schwartz, OD, FAAO
SuperCharge is an outstanding seminar put together and presented by Dr. D, one of the best and most experienced ortho-K experts in the industry. You will leave this course with hands on information that you will take home and use to change your practice. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in changing their patients’ lives and changing their own life.
April Jasper, OD, FAAO
If you learn from trial and error and provide the same care as your competitors, you’ll wind up with the same results. A better way would be to learn the systems Dr. D has developed for providing exceptional patient care, while thriving in private practice. Dr. D has been a client of The Power Practice for over 20 years and his success represents the reward of working smart, not hard. Attend this seminar, listen to him, take his advice, but most of all – take action, you won’t regret it!
Gary Gerber, OD
Chief Dream Officer of The Power Practice®
Host of The Power Hour
Dr. D is a true innovator who recognized early the need to distinguish his practice from others. By taking his detailed plan on Ortho-K and implementing it in our offices, we have not only set our practice apart from others, but we have created patients for life. I recommend this seminar to anyone who wants to supercharge their practice, patients and staff!
Katie Gilbert Spear, O.D., M.P.H.
SuperCharge was a life changing experience. Dr. D give me all the information and organization required to take my practice to a new level. Not only using Corneal Refractive Therapy, but also by reigniting my passion to place my heart and soul in all that I do in my practice. His secrets have changed the lives of thousand doctors and their families by giving them back profits, referrals and recognition.
Dr. Maria Antonia Rodriguez,OD

Through a carefully crafted and fine-tuned presentation, Dr. D will teach you the systems you need for a specialty ortho-K practice. He will inspire you to keep focus, help you train your staff to deliver exceptional service, and show you how to market effectively. This isn’t your typical seminar that promises the world but then you are left wondering what to do next. With all the practical information, you will never regret attending this semimar.
Thanh Mai OD
Taking Dr. D’s seminar is one of the best things for any optometrist to move forward with success. After I attended the seminar my practice had the best growth ever, in all of my years as an optometrist. I am looking forward to continuous growth as I implement more of Dr. D’s strategies.
Dr. Hieu Trong Do
I have been providing ortho-K and vision therapy for about 10 years. I struggled with the management of staff and patients as they go through the process. SuperCharge put many of my concerns into a logical process that is easy to digest. The Supercharge philosophy allows doctors and staff to understand how to do things that will grow the practice and, just as importantly, make optometry more fun. Every optometrist should take this course.
Thomas R. Doud, O.D.
Thank you very much for allowing us to understand your philosophy. It was impressive to see the professionalism, friendliness and dedication of your team. For us our children are the most important and it was great to see how you solve and improve the quality of life of children with therapy called CRT. I look forward to meet again and listen to one of yourtalks and explain your philosophy.
Rafael Martinez de Salas Rubio
The seminar was fantastic! Dr. D provided us with a comprehensive approach to market and integrate ortho-K into our practice…..successfully! The workshop provided us with the nuts and bolts of an ortho-K practice, time management principles, multimedia ideas and an overall game plan necessary to develop an even more super (turbo charged) practice. Our practice is growing and performing more Ortho-K than ever!
Dr. Brian Berliner
Long Island, N.Y.
Dr. D continues to be an inspiration to the rest of us. He is driven, focused, organized and highly successful, and so generous to share all of your “secrets for success”. I appreciate the amount of time you put into your craft, but also the time it takes preparing lectures, webinars, documents, etc. I always learn something I didn’t know when I attend SuperCharge. I also am grateful that you took the time out of your busy day seeing patients to call me and listen to some of the issues I am dealing with in my practice. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Paul Levine, OD, FAAO, FIAO
I have attended SuperCharge twice and have built my ortho-K practice based on many of Dr. D’s recommendations. I have used his techniques in trapping, consulting and signing up new potential patients. I learned about how to run my busy practice efficiently and systematically. The seminar is very comprehensive and always engaging and entertaining. Dr. D is always very enthusiastic and truly interested in helping me and my practice. I highly recommend any new or established practitioners to attend SuperCharge.
Dr. Eileen Lo, OD, FIAO
If your practice is struggling in the current economic conditions or it’s just in the doldrums this is the course for you. Dr. D provides clear, concise, tactical changes for your practice that make sense. He provides manageable mini goals that you can implement right away and gets you to clarify your major goals and the methods to get there! I could see the results in my own practice right away. This is the best spent time and money if your looking to take your practice to the next level.
Dr Barbara Manion
I just wanted to take a minute to send you a long overdue Thank You. You inspired me to do my own presentation and my talk went terrific! We had 20 guests in attendance and since my presentation; I’ve started 2 patients. This year we had 55 new starts; up from last year and I owe a lot of that to the fine tuning you gave me at SuperCharge!
Rob Gerowtiz, OD, FIAO
The SuperChargeYourPractice workshop is an opportunity for eye professionals to obtain the knowledge needed to start and grow a corneal reshaping practice. I had the opportunity to work alongside Dr. D and found that his office operates exactly the way he teaches! His approach is extremely effective. Health care reform is the newest and most important reason to attend. Dr. D provides you with the skills to break away from the vicious circle of trying to maintain a practice on insurance reimbursement. As an alumni of two SuperCharge workshops, I can attest I learn something new each and every time I attend. I have been working with ortho-K practices and can validate these marketing techniques work! I am looking forward to the next SuperCharge!
ABO, NCLE, Licensed Optician
If you feel like your skills at presenting ortho-K to your patients could use a kick start, you should attend SuperCharge. If you feel like you could benefit from a better organized ortho-K machine, attend this seminar. It is four hours of nonstop ideas. I’m not kidding, Dr. D does not take a breath. You will come away with a ton of ideas to improve your ortho-K practice…I know, I did and I’ve attended twice.
Car-o-line
Dr. D has been a true inspiration for my ortho-K practice. When I attended SuperCharge I not only received the knowledge, but a renewed passion for this unique segment in my practice. Each time that I went to SuperCharge the number of my ortho-K’s increased! I don’t equate this to coincidence. Go to SuperCharge and get supercharged!!
Dr. Kerry T. Holt - El Paso, Tx.
SuperCharge is a one of kind workshop! I was able to integrate what I learned seamlessly, literally the next day. Profits have been up with my new implemented strategies, and more importantly, I am very now happy and stress-free with all elements of my practice. My staff also appreciated the changes and philosophies we adopted, so thrilled in fact I brought my staff across the country to attend SuperCharge for the past few year. Thanks for opening our eyes! We enjoy private practice and the lavish lifestyle afforded by adopting your vision and philosophies of practice.
Steven Chander, OD
We are a four-location practice in establishment since 1997. In that time, we have seen vision insurance reimbursements shrink, and in the last 5 years, medical insurance reimbursements as well. We wanted a new mode of practice independent of insurance. CRT, although around for a long time, has never really been mainstream and embraced by optometry. The more recent studies showing the therapeutic effect of CRT on myopic children, along with our continuing struggles with insurances, prompted us to delve further into CRT.
Taking SuperCharge was a real treat, since Dr. D has effectively systematized the art of CRT and made the task of incorporating CRT in our practice much less daunting. At this time we are ready to launch CRT in our practice and have used much of what we learned from Dr D to create our systems.
Thomas and Vasvi Babu
I formerly ran my own private practice, ran a TLC Laser Center, and had run an office for a large Ophthalmology group. I thought I had a good handle on how to run a practice. In truth, I had a great handle on how my practice could run me! How can you plan success? This was the most important concept I learned at Supercharge. You can plan success, IF you understand what builds teams , what processes support employees and helps them succeed, and why the Doctor has to lead by example, not decree. I thank Dr. D for opening my eyes to the possibilities of how much joy being in private practice can still be, even despite all the current market forces that challenge us. Attending SuperCharge was a big Inflection Point my practice needed to become what I wanted it to be. This is the best seminar I have ever attended, and strongly recommended.
Jeffrey Martin, OD, FAAO
SuperCharge has been a transformative experience for myself and my staff. We are constantly tweaking our help guides and improving our systems and processes. I watch videos from the seminar on your website to keep my motivation going. The funny thing is while it has helped the ortho-K side of my practice, it has done more for the other aspects of my practice as well. It has helped me develop my practice into the success I have always wanted. I also appreciate the helping hand from Dr. D when I have questions or need clarifications.
Kyle Jones, OD
Tucker, Ga
I am very pleased that I attended SuperCharge. Dr. D’s presentation was clear and well thought out. He obviously loves CRT and enthusiastically shared with us many of the systems that he utilizes within his own practice. I put several of them to use immediately upon returning to my office. His handouts have proven to be extremely helpful in our office for not only the growth of our CRT practice, but have been useful in other areas also. I highly recommend Nick’s workshop for any practitioner who wants to provide more CRT in their practice.
Scott M. Pearl, OD
I cannot say enough about SuperCharge! It has changed the way I practice and has increased the gross sales of the business. Dr. D’s philosophies and management strategies create unique business opportunities with an increase in sales almost instantly. His enthusiasm for what he does is contagious. I was captivated for the entire four hours! I would highly recommend Nick’s workshop if your practice seems to be lacking something and needs to truly be “supercharged!”
Jennifer M. Smith, OD
Dr. D provides “The keys to the castle” and you get to plug and play (if you are disciplined and persistent). He eliminates the need to learn “ortho-K business techniques” so all you have to do is contribute time and persistence. Learn from, Dr. D, the best coach out there.
Peter Wilcox
Meeting Dr. D at SuperCharge was a treat. There was never a dull moment. The system is not just for ortho-K practice, I was able to implement it for the entire office. I am proud to say that I finally finished my office procedure manual because of SuperCharge. Thank you for sharing and your continuing support even after the workshop. You’re an inspiration.
Pamela Wu, O.D.
I was one of the first the first practitioners certified by Paragon to fit CRT and have been doing Orthokeratology for over 25 years. My knowledge was recently clarified and reenergized by SuperCharge. The principles that I originally stated have been clarified and expanded upon with greater clarity and focus. The introduction and first three chapters on establishing a foundation, visualizing your outcome and marketing helped me rethink my approach to CRT. For me it was a rebirth into the best way to present overnight corrections and how to effectively document the visits and inform the patients. The enthusiasm of Dr. D is most impressive. His skill, personality and belief in corneal reshaping are the keys to success. I give my highest recommendations and also my gratitude to Dr. D for his efforts in creating and presenting our profession and patient base with SuperCharge.
Richard H. Kimmich, OD, FAAO, FCOVD
I loved SuperCharge and shared the major points with my staff as soon as I got back to the office. I’ve implemented some of your ideas and refined more of my own that have worked for me, based on the principles you presented. Lately, I’ve been recommending CRT with all the parents of my developing myopes. I am consistently doing two or three new fits per month, up from doing 8 all of last year before your seminar! Thanks again for all your enthusiasm and blueprint for success.
Robin Sapossnek, OD
Rarely do you attend a seminar where you are not only educated but entertained. Dr. D has the incredible flair for both. I have had the opportunity to witness Nick in action over the last 10 years as I have enjoyed his lectures as part of a national practice management study group. He is completely dedicated to excellence in the art and science of CRT and is able to present it to the audience in a way that can make you laugh and cry. Yes, his expertise about the topic is second to none, but it is his passion and energy which makes attending Dr. D’s seminar something you have to put on your “must attend” list!
Dan L. Fortenbacher, OD, FCOVD
As a vision therapy practitioner, I appreciated Dr. D’s perspectives on how CRT and vision therapy practice management go hand in hand. Dr. D gives practical advice in applying and integrating key practice management strategies to grow and take any practice to the next level. I went home with not just ideas, but with the confidence and tools to implement marketing strategies for my CRT and VT practice immediately.
