ASOA Membership Testimonials

During my last 17 years as a member, I have found ASOA to be invaluable. Now, with Meaningful Use, the business digest and other notifications that I receive, it's so much easier to have answers for the doctor before he even asks about something.  My physician is very trusting of my opinions and knowledge, but he also knows that I use ASOA as a resource. When I call, support at ASOA is always very helpful. When I email, ASOA gets back to me promptly. As things get harder, with new rules and regulations, I will be turning to ASOA more frequently.

I cannot truly express how beneficial ASOA membership has been to me or our practice. Our practice went through a time without an administrator and, during this period, ASOA resources and access to other administrators were instrumental in allowing managers to safeguard our practice and maintain compliance. Thank you, ASOA!

In this constantly evolving future of healthcare delivery, I find that there is always more to know and new developments to stay on top off. There is no better way to keep ahead of the curve than the resources available thru ASOA.

There are so many times when our MDs will ask us to see what other practices are doing. I usually find it being discussed on EyeMail and I can find answers to take back to my MDs.  I look forward to checking EyeMail at the end of each day. Also, I have been attending ASCRS*ASOA Symposium & Congress  for the last 15 years and I would not miss it.  I have learned so much from networking and attending classes.  Every year that I attend, I learn more about old subjects and connect with new ones. It is a great organization to belong to.  So much knowledge available,  just for the asking!

My ASOA membership is an essential tool for learning the aspects of practice operations unique to ophthalmology, such as patient flow, equipment, and testing.

ASOA membership has been invaluable to our practice. Recently, I reached out to my colleagues for advice on selecting a new EMR. I received a wealth of useful feedback, which allowed me to confidently choose the EMR we have today. Members are so generous with their time and expertise. I wouldn’t want to navigate the complex maze of healthcare without the steadfast partnership of ASOA!

Many years ago, when I was promoted to business manager, I was terrified that I wasn’t qualified to handle my duties. That same year, I was introduced to ASOA and attending my first ASOA meeting. When I arrived, I was relieved to discover a course outline that would help educate me on the specifics of running an ophthalmic practice. Today, I am a patient financial counselor. Throughout my career in ophthalmology, I have been grateful for the resources of ASOA, the ASCRS*ASOA Symposium & Congress and the EyeMail.

ASOA introduced me to the world of ophthalmology. The society has provided educational and networking resources, unsurpassed by none in all categories and management.

I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered ASOA! This is the support we needed; without ASOA the support is null to none. Any issues discussed in the business digest motivate and strengthen management's ability to build a successful clinic. The ASOA meetings introduced me to many amazing administrators, and networking with them was another step in improving my practice. Thank you, ASOA!

I love being a COE and ASOA member.  The ASOA resources are invaluable, especially as healthcare becomes more complicated and riddled with rules and regulations.  The courses and networking at ASOA meetings always provide the energy and inspiration to keep going.  Thank you ASOA!
