“My AOA membership has been invaluable in helping me grow and manage my independent practice by providing access to a network of like-minded optometrists who continually challenge and encourage one another. Through these professional relationships, I’ve been inspired to think creatively about key aspects of practice management, from effectively leading and developing staff to improving patient flow and clinical efficiency. The shared commitment to clinical excellence within the AOA community also motivates me to continually elevate the quality of care I provide to my patients.” - Hannah Totten, O.D.
