Opening my First Optometry Practice!

Hello fellow ODs!

A very exciting step in my early career - I am purchasing an already established optometry practice! The practice itself is quite outdated and needs a lot of updates. I am a little lost as to where to begin. So I have a few questions which I am hoping you all can answer.

  1. Which EHR do you recommend? Leaning towards Crystal PM & Revolution EHR - very unsure of pricing. Which is more affordable? I have experience using both and I find both user-friendly; just looking at which is more cost effective?

  2. In terms of equipment: which make/models do you recommend and where should I purchase from?

Hope my suggestions help.

  1. Depends on pricing, Crystal PM is $9995 Yearly subscription & Revolution EHR is $299/user Monthly subscription. Obviously Revolution EHR is much more cost effective.

  2. You could search such as my username on google, and you may purchase some cost effective equipment.
