Testimonials

I would like to take the opportunity to tell how my practice has been since I started OK and what it has become after I took your workshop.  We had 1-2 OK patients per month for so long and I did not know how to increase my OK patients.  I do know that there is a HUGE demand for it, since my practice is located in the center of a highly Asian populated area.

After attending your first workshop, we started to sign up more NEW OK patients.  In just 2 months we were able to sign up about 10 new OK patients per month.  After a few months, our average new OK sign-up was about 25-30 patients. Last June, we reached our highest NEW OK sign-ups…40 patients!!!

What I have learned is not all about signing new patients, but the skills (required) to give patients/parents EXTRAORDINARY care that shows.  From that, more referrals will come.  In addition, we have implemented the “flow” of how to take care of patients.  I am less stressed and the staff feels that there is a “system” they can follow to take care of patients with ease.

I have attended your workshop twice already.  And since I have not used your “system” 100%, I feel that I still need the review to be better.  Thus, I will be at your upcoming workshop again this April!  Due to the increased revenue generated, I feel less dependent on my VSP and other insurances.  We were able to take a wonderful vacation last year and this year.  Not only did my staff get more raises and bonuses, we are able to hire additional staff to provide even better service to our ok patients.

I would like to sincerely thank you for putting your HEART into helping other ODs fulfill their dreams of preserving precious eyesight.  Thank you so much for calling my office and training my counselors.  They feel so inspired after your phone conference!  We actually got even more referrals after they got trained by you! I can see that you really do what you teach; give excellent 1-1 care. I am looking forward to learning more and getting inspired by your future lectures.

If you feel like your skills at presenting orthoK as an option could use a kick start, attend this seminar.  If you feel like you could benefit from a better organized orthoK machine, attend this seminar.  It is four hours of nonstop ideas.  I’m not kidding, the man does not take a breath.  You will come away with a ton of ideas to improve your orthoK practice – I know I did and I’ve attended twice.

“Super Charge Your Practice is a one of kind workshop!  What I learned from Drs. D I was able to integrate literally the next day seamlessly.  Profits have been up with my new “coaches’” implemented strategies, but 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 a 2^nd  workshop…we’re looking forward to attending our 3rd!”

Nick: we don’t worry about “can I have my RX to go anymore” it’s small potatoes, we worry about ‘make you happy service’ and expand our knowledge in helping others, and creating a team of” A: staff to cater to our “A” patients.  Thanks for opening our eyes, literally!  We enjoy private practice and the lavish lifestyle afforded by adopting your vision and philosophies of practice.

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 Dr D’s workshop was a real treat, since he 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.

Just wanted to share with you my experience since I attended your Supercharge Your Practice seminar.  I had returned to private practice 2 years earlier, and I was busy embracing corneal shaping as a cornerstone of my office.  To put things in perspective, let me give you a little back ground on where I was prior to that experience.

I had formerly run 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!

The idea of proactive management, while not a new concept to me, was a fuzzy one.  How can you plan success?  Is success a planned outcome, or just one possibility once the chips fall where they may?  This was the most important concept I learned at Supercharge Your Practice.  You can plan success, IF you understand what builds teams (not hierarchies and top down charts of organization), what processes support employees and helps them succeed, and why the Doctor has to lead by example, not decree.

Dr. D, I thank you 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.  We all choose to be where we are, either by action or inaction.  Attending Supercharge Your Practice was a big Inflection Point my practice needed to become what I wanted it to be.  Best seminar I have ever attended, and strongly recommended.

Best personal regards -
Jeffrey Martin, OD, FAAO

 

Hello Dr D:

I would be happy to talk to anybody about my experience with “supercharge your practice”  It has been a transformative experience for myself and my staff.  We are constantly tweaking our help guides and improving our systems and processes.  I found myself on your website the other day watching some videos from the seminar.  I use them to keep my motivation going.

The funny thing is while it has helped the ortho-k side of my practice it probably done more for the other aspects of my practice as well.  It has helping me develop my practice into the practice I have always wanted to be.  I also appreciate the helping hand from Dr D when I have questions or need clarifications.

Thanks

Before I attended your seminar, I was unsure as to whether or not I should get involved in CRT. After your seminar, I decided that I was definitely going to do CRT. The material was very useful and I am definitely using it to begin my CRT practice. You are an excellent motivational speaker and my goal is to have a CRT practice that is as successful as yours.

Roxanne Coan, OD

 

I am very pleased that I attended Nick’s workshop. His 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 was able to 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

 

Thank you so much for the wonderful workshop, and for sending these materials. They really show the dedication you and your staff have to building an excellent practice. Although we are a much smaller practice, we try to hold ourselves and our staff to high standards and I think it will pay off in the long run. We have already used many of the ideas you provided in the workshop. It’s been a slow start, but we are headed in the right direction! As a newer practice, we really appreciate getting advice from good doctors, who care about their patients and manage their practices successfully. It gives us hope through these first few difficult years!

I attended SuperchargeYourPractice with Dr. Nick Despotidis last October. I cannot say enough for this seminar! It has changed the way I practice and has increased the gross sales of the business. Nick’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!”

One of the principle keys to a successful and healthy practice is the success at IMPLEMENTING any new, valued ideas, policies or procedures. A significant barrier to achieving this is the lack of time to conceptualize, construct and incorporate any chosen changes into a busy practice. Supercharge Your Practice addresses and solves most of those impediments which all practices face. Dr. Nick Despotidis has great ideas which he has thought through, tested, distilled and has successfully implemented into his fantastic practice. All any doctor has to do is read, believe and incorporate the numerous practice-growing, patient-exciting tools presented in this comprehensive, turn-key program. Supercharge Your Practice is a gift for any practice but it is a ‘must-have’ for any practice currently involved in, or getting involved in Orthokeratology!

Peter E. Wilcox, O.D

Meeting you at San Diego workshop was a treat. You kept me awake during the entire workshop, there was never a dull moment. You’re right about the system is not just for OK 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 you.

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 Dr. D. of Hamilton NJ. The principles that I originally stated I my articles have been clarified and expanded upon with greater clarity and focus with the SuperchargeYourPractice seminar. The introduction and first three chapters on establishing a foundation, visualizing your outcome and marketing helped me rethink my approach to CRT and the reason and potentials that originally drove me to the modality. 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.

All of the above elements of the presentation are important, but beyond a doubt it is the enthusiasm of Dr. D. that is the 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 SuperChargeYourPractice.

Richard H. Kimmich, OD, FAAO, FCOVD

 

I loved your seminar 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.

Rarely do you attend a seminar where you are not only educated but entertained. Nick 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 Nick’s seminar something you have to put on your “must attend” list!

Dan L. Fortenbacher, OD, FCOVD

 

You’re going to laugh, but I was totally exhausted after your talk. I don’t know how you gather so much energy to be able to talk so enthusiastically for three straight hours! You were amazing! I was told that I would be entertained and I sure was. Not only that, but your enthusiasm was so contagious. I can’t tell you how busy I’ve been since your seminar. Not necessarily seeing a lot of patients, but getting ready to see them. You won’t believe how organized I’m getting, just by the tips you provided at your seminar.

The drive up to Denver was well worth it. I’m so confident that my practice is going to do so well this year and beyond. I want to thank you for sharing so much information with all of us who attended your seminar. It is encouraging to know that it is possible to have an extremely successful practice, and still be able to have time to spend with family!

Thank you so much! I look forward to meeting with you again.

As a vision therapy practitioner, I appreciated Nick’s perspectives on how CRT and vision therapy practice management go hand in hand. Nick 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.
