20/20 Money Episode #115 – Contract Negotiations for Optometrists: Creating a Win-Win for Associates and Owners

January 18, 2021

On this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Chris Lopez, OD.

Contrary to what you might believe, picking the right investment is not your greatest wealth creating tool. It’s your income! Make sure that you know how to negotiate the right way and land the right job while also ensuring that it’s a win for the owner of the practice. In this conversation, practicing OD and career and contract consultant Dr. Chris Lopez talks to us about how both associates and owners should think about both the hiring process and rates of pay for associates in a private practice.

As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, you can also set up a 20-30min Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we help ODs around the country reduce their tax bill, manage cash flow, and make proactive money decisions or check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks and on-demand webinars.

And with that introduction, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Chris Lopez.
