The Chris Wolfe Podcast: Healthcare Trends

Dr. Chris Wolfe discusses the impact of private equity on patient care and the evolving healthcare landscape. It highlights the trend of physicians leaving private practice and opting for employment with larger health systems or corporate entities. The declining reimbursement rates and rising costs pose challenges for optometrists, leading to the need for strategic thinking and adaptability. The influence of private equity raises concerns about the standardization of care and the loss of autonomy for practitioners. The conversation emphasizes the importance of telling the story of independent optometry and the need to provide personalized, patient-centered care.
