So it is the end of my first week in business. I look back on the past 5 days and realize that it is good to be back in the saddle again. Fifty one is way too early for retirement. I was bored too death.
Taking care of patients and people is what I do. I missed the contact with patients and giving sight to those in need. Happy to be...back in the saddle again!

You See Your Dentist Every 6 Months...You See Your Optometrist Every???
Everyone has learned from an early age that one should see the dentist every 6 months for routine and preventative dental care. Most parents take their children to the pediatrician at least once a year. Most people see their primary care physicians once per year. Most women see their gynecologist once per year. And most people have their eyes checked how often and when? Once per year? Once every 2 years? When their vision is blurry? When they flunk the driver's license exam?
I would argue that you can get false teeth. You can get a lot of things in the medical and healthcare arena but you can not get new eyes. We are not at the Steve Austin, bionic man, ability just yet. All of the young people reading will say who is that?
Why are your eyes second fiddle? I could lose my hearing tomorrow. My wife says I have lost my hearing today. I could be in a wheelchair, I could have dentures, I could have a lot of surgery, but my eyes...they are worth a lot more than most people think.
One of the leading causes of learning problems in school is poor vision. And most parents rely on the pediatrician to do a chart at the end of a long hall or some school screener. Trust me, they have their importance but no screener at the pediatrician office will discover the things that can be at an eye exam. Sorry, and my brother is a great pediatrician. I know what they were taught in school and it is no substitute for an eye exam by an optometrist for health and vision related problems.
So my simple question to you today is...how much are your eyes worth? I paid $225 for a plumber to do 15 minutes of work on a drain last week. How much are your eyes worth compared to other parts of your body that you know you could live without? If I pay you $600 today to never put on a pair of contacts or eyeglasses again, what would you say. Vision is everything. It is how we experience the world...it is how we experience life...it is almost everything!
Take some time today and book an appointment and have your eyes checked. It can change your life and the way you see things.

Collins Eye Center - Come In and Experience the Difference!
Ok, I have not blogged in quite awhile. But in the internet world, blogs get information out to people and move your name up the search lists. So this blog is a shameless plug to promote my new practice in Brentwood, TN. I will open up around the first or second week in August of this year.
I sold my half of my former practices in Antioch, TN, Franklin, TN, Nashville, TN, Columbia, TN, Hendersonville, TN, and Clarksville, TN.
My new practice's mission is to provide high tech eyecare with a personalized experience to our patients. Our goal is to enhance their lives and give them sight. We want to show our patients the difference that caring eyecare professionals can make.
My new practice will be located in The Shoppes of Maryland Farm, 115 Penn Warren Drive, Suite 450 Brentwood, TN. My office number is (615)477-9850. If you call, it will go to voicemail. I'm high tech now with VoIP so I will return your call from my iPhone when I get a chance.
In the meantime, you can call and request your medical records from my former practice if you plan on continuing your eyecare with me. That way I will have all of your records when you come in to see me.
I am looking forward to getting back to work and seeing all of my patients. Twenty five years of caring for eyeballs! I love it. SEE YOU SOON!
