20/20 Money Episode #328 – Providing Vision Therapy Profitably and Passionately with Dr. Leigha Nielsen, OD

Welcome to another Episode of 20/20 Money!

My guest on today’s show is Dr. Leigha Nielson, OD FOVDR, founder of High 5 Vision Development in New Braunfels, TX.

Leigha joins me on the show to talk about how she’s created both a successful practice and a life she loves—personally and professionally—through a vision-therapy focused practice. She talks about her journey as a practice owner under the TSO (Texas State Optical) brand and how she transitioned to her own stand-alone practice and why she made the commitment to to change. She also shares the details about the operations of her practice—from the pricing discount she provides to patients that pay all in full to how she thinks about leverage and return-on-investment with the team that supports the care provided to patients, Leigha is very transparent about how she’s made her practice profitable while also not compromising her passion for vision therapy.
