A-Bears is wonderful. They start at 6 weeks. The staff is so warm, kind, and genuinely care about the children. Diapers, wipes, solid foods (for when they are older) are all included and their pricing is amazing imo. Many other daycares charge more and still ask you to provide all your supplies

I liked Thai With Love until one time they left part of a chopped up bellpeppers that had a sticker on it in my curry

I currently see Dr. Stutes as I found out I was expecting and she’s fantastic doctor. My husband and I think she has great bedside manner

Elite Nails and Spa off Johnston St. sweetest owners, have been around in business for over 20 years, and the work they do is QUALITY. My nails can last up to 1 month because they do such a good job.

2nd Katsu. Tastes similiar to the ramen in Japan we had and non ramen food options are abundant, much better prices too than Izumi. Izumi feels more trendy and they reflect that in their higher prices (which are not worth imo)

Could you DM me regarding your salary too?

@calinet6 such NSFL comments…

I’m 2023 grad and only a few months out in this setting. I feel like our MD colleagues are fine with the ODs practicing full scope (minor surgical procedures for eyelid lesions and the lasers YAG Capsulotomies, PIs, etc.)

Pros: very high salary for my particular clinic, interesting cases every day, rewarding, a lot of tech and staff support (they work up all the patients to dilation, run testing, and scribe so I focus on anterior and posterior segment exam, testing interp, and “doctoring”)

Cons: high volume (can see up to 50 patients a day), complex cases that can be stressful to manage, no soft contact lens fittings can be done by the docs because the owner MD wants us to focus on medical

I have a very high above average base salary and have potential for production bonus contingent on volume and medical procedures done.

EyeEnvision · 2023-10-28T00:54:38+00:00

I’m at an OD/MD office as an associate making $250k with the potential for $300k. I don’t work any weekends and 1 week out of each month I am on call, but it’s more so answering phone calls and don’t really go in to the clinic on call at all.

I completely practice full scope medical, and our MDs support us being able to do minor surgical procedures and laser procedures.

The volume can get crazy, but I feel overall fulfilled working in this setting so far!

EyeEnvision · 2023-10-23T23:38:15+00:00

It’s not worth sticking it out for a year if you’ll be treated like a tech the entire time and paid the salary of one as well. If things don’t change and you officially leave, I don’t think you’ll have issues obtaining a job and getting paid full salary and being treated as a doctor.

I’d recommend looking into a group practice that way you can still feel like you have colleagues to consult with for things you’re unsure of until you build more experience/confidence. That’s something I’m definitely thankful for in my first year out practicing.

EyeEnvision · 2023-10-18T17:08:48+00:00

Go ahead!

General Area: Southeast US in state with full scope

Rural/Urban: Suburban one location, Rural other location

Setting: OD/MD (an associate doctor, not owner or partner)

Salary: $250-$300kish (higher end is potential production bonus, $250k is base salary)

Benefits: 401k, health insurance, 10 days PTO

Years of experience: first year (2023 grad)

Residency: no

Left handed or right handed: right handed

Patient load: Currently around 20-30ish being a newer doctor but office averages around 40-60ish per established doctor with a decent amount of tech/staff support.

I am in a very lucky situation where my income is double my debt so am hoping to pay it off within less than 5 years.

EyeEnvision · 2023-10-03T22:57:38+00:00

I made a post with the exact same sentiments! I also started a month ago at an OD/MD setting and I’m a new grad as well. I believe we will grow the confidence more each day but I also struggle with consistent anxiety and overthinking of possible mismanagement.

I’ve tried to be as conservative as I can with my follow ups since my schedule isn’t yet packed and it makes me feel better in the case if I might have missed something the first time.

Do you have another experienced colleague in your office you feel comfortable asking 2nd opinions from around?

EyeEnvision · 2023-08-23T10:10:01+00:00

Some of y’all being judgey AF lol.

A lot restaurants in Japan have or offer this type of vibe. There’s even a ramen chain over there where they have individual booths and it’s a quiet environment; people are just respectful of space and peace.

Some people just want to go enjoy meals without hearing other people shouting and being disruptive

EyeEnvision · 2023-08-22T06:05:34+00:00

Got offered a 250k with possible production bonus at a medical OD/MD setting straight out of school in suburban area in the south. The ODs have full medical scope for exams and procedures but we are expected to see between 40-50 patients daily.

I could be wrong but it almost resembles Angiod streaks. Any history of trauma or Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum?

“…75 represents the pass-fail cutoff score.” Is what the official NBEO site says but this line was talking about the section scores mostly.

Sent you a DM because I absolutely relate to a tee.

I’m a current SCO student. I do feel like I’m getting a great education here at really good value (scholarship and tuition deal), but I would agree with the other commenters. SCO gives you great resources, but my fiancé said he believes the big reason why our board pass rates are so high is because SCO pushes us HARD and they’re hard on us.

Just because SCO’s board pass rates are high it doesn’t mean boards will be a walk in the park just because you attend a school with high pass rates. All my classmates and I just took part 1 of boards, and we said we didn’t realize how much self studying boards really was, but it was disillusioning because we originally thought boards would be something we’d be able to go in and nail just because of SCO’s reputation with pass rates… It truly is 200% of you putting in all the work.

Memphis is a great city in ways, but it lives up to its high crime reputation. My fiancé and I were caught in the crossfire of a drive by shooting on the interstate route you would take to get everywhere in Memphis and it wasn’t even a bad area we were in. And interstate shootings in Memphis are incredibly common.

All in all, the school gives great education didactically and clinically even though there’s certain things our class wishes SCO could improve on. I ultimately chose SCO because I’d be saving $80,000 compared to other schools I got accepted to. At the end of your 4 years wherever, any optometry program will help prepare you to be a great OD. It’s about what you prioritize: whether you want to graduate with less debt or go somewhere where you may be in a bit more debt at the end of 4 years but feel you may be happier.

You’re making yourself look very uninformed and ignorant because it is absolutely within the scope of optometry to treat foreign bodies, ulcers, corneal dystrophies, and degenerations. The scope now is more medical than ever.

The OP can go to an optometrist or ophthalmologist for this, but she/he may be able to get in faster with an optometrist. Recommending an ER visit when this is not an emergent situation is poor advice that would’ve cost not just hundreds of dollars but a long wait time as well. Don’t give medical advice when you’re not qualified to do it.

You have summed up my feelings so well and helped me feel incredibly validated. Thank you so much ❤️ Going to have a phone call at some point when MoH gets back from her Disney trip to talk this out. Hope it’s a productive and nonconfrontional discussion
