hello - so part 1 isn't needed then as i passed 20+ yrs back? just parts 2 and 3....what materials do you recommend to prep with?

Hello, am wanting to relocate to Florida and have to take NBEO II and III, per application requirements - though its been over 20 yrs since last passed. Any ideas of whether to use optoprep / nbeo test bank questions ($199 / month), and how long it would generally take to prepare? It's been a...

I appreciate your advice. That's what we're trying to do now, trying to find a victim for the slow practice, and perhaps consider selling another one with it, since no one seems interested in the slow one alone. :scared: This has been really difficult, and has put so much stress in our lives...

I practice in NJ, so these new grads are quite demanding for being in the "New York area" --and my husband is in not an OD, but has a well-paying job. That's why we're so frustrated. Initially of course I had one location for several years, I was working most of the week, and hired someone 1-2...

The problem is that I am subleasing at a LensCrafters, I have 3 locations, full-time doctors, etc etc. The offices are overall doing well (supposedly, on paper) but it always seems that we cannot save any money! I am looking into hiring a bookkeeper--not an accountant for taxes or an office...

:thumbup: Ha! wow, I loved this post! You hit every point right on! I, unfortunately, have become victim to the corporate chain and am subleasing through LensCrafters. I have 3 locations, and although the gross figures look great on paper, the reality is that I am still pretty much just getting...

In response to this old post: most EyeMed plans state that dilation IS included with their ridiculously low reimbursement amounts. So most patients will obviously know that you can't get away with charging extra for a dfe. Our office fees are higher, as they are based on location and current...

ok. ill do some research elsewhere....and come back with the results...

well...the dramatic cost of attending od school is so out of hand, that in certain parts of the country,you are essentially taking out a mortgage. and of course you will need a real mortgage for a home. and of course there is auto payment. now try getting a loan for a private practice. i pay...

ill ignore your crude attempt at humor. didnt find it funny at all. what you are saying is not the truth. how about m.d.'s? how many schools are there spitting out m.d.'s, do's, etc., every year? how many foreign residents are admitted? yet you dont hear too many complaining. i hear grumblings...

you're funny, in a foolish sort of way.

my advice to you: do not borrow the max. nor close to the max. you will truly regret it, and during your externships, you will have a sinking feeling set in as to how you will ever repay it. no need for loan counseling, as the school so chappily suggests. you want the secret? consolidate as...

my case is a combo of private and federal. i borrowed around 40k. a little more, actually. ecsi and idapp now. my monthly is 1200 for 20 years. interest grows at 600 or so a month for idapp. if michale moore wants to make a movie over anything, how about taking advantage of student...

sure it is. sure it is. not only is there an over abundance, but you have a lot of traitor o.d.'s that need to eat, and thus, join corporate. this kills the income, builds up "their" practice, and leaves other o.d.s in private practices wanting. look, the bottom line, as i said b4, and ill...

150k? net? enlighten me. there is no way in the world that they can make that much--a seasoned doc even-- working for someone else. no way. thus they must sublease -- and since i have the impression that they are newbies--they probably dont have the capital to start a new optical, nor...
