the expert guidance you need
Our team covers every area of practice management.
Every independent optometry practice is as unique as the doctor who owns it—and no two eye care professionals have exactly the same needs, values and requirements. As an IDOC member, you’ll collaborate with our team of expert consultants to define your individual practice goals, and build a customized business strategy to achieve them.
You’ll learn industry best practices and exchange ideas with your OD peers at live educational events. And you’ll lower costs through an exclusive vendor discount program that includes over 50 eye care providers. As an independent optometrist, you have important choices to make for your practice, and with IDOC as your partner, you can be sure you’re making the right ones.
