Q: What inspired you to become a business owner?

I strongly believe that business ownership is one of the best ways to create change in the world. The desire to try and create an amazing work environment where people can come to learn and progress their careers is what inspired me the most, but opening a business holds a certain level of risk. I wanted to get hands-on experience in the field to understand the growth opportunities and needs before jumping into ownership.

 

Q: What initially drew you into partnership?

Specsavers are pioneers in how they provide eyecare support to optometrists. I really appreciate and value the way they put patients first and how they’ve been able to maintain that throughout the years.

They also hold the same values as I do when it comes to fostering a healthy work environment and making quality eyecare accessible. This encouraged me because I wanted to partner with a company that would help facilitate my goals for both my patients and team.

Q: What has surprised you about partnering with Specsavers?

The sense of community is absolutely amazing. I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many talented individuals and it’s been great to work with like-minded people. Everyone at Specsavers approaches situations with a team mentality, we’re all working towards the same goal to provide great care for our patients and customers. Working with the people here is truly a breath of fresh air.

Q: How have things been going since opening your independent clinic?

We’re happy to see the community appreciating us for being here to help them. I believe that patient volume grows when your end goal is to provide patients with the best care and service possible. We’re seeing exam bookings fill up quickly and we always do our best to help anyone who drops by the clinic. I was very open-minded coming into this and mainly wanted to make a difference in the community.

Leasing agreements

What you don’t know about your lease will hurt you. Your patients ought to have a regular eye health examination. Why don’t you have a periodic lease health checkup?

You check to ensure your staff are paid properly, your bank account charges are reasonable, your loan payments are reasonable, and you are not overpaying for equipment and supplies. Why would you not check to make sure you are being treated fairly under your lease?

Believe it.
Each year many tenants unknowingly find themselves in huge lease trouble simply because they didn’t understand what their lease really says. Do you think your landlord is going to call you up and tell you that you are overpaying and write you a check? Not likely.

Lease issues can be ongoing, chronic and expensive “gotcha’s”, which appear in at least 30% of the leases we review. For example, are you overpaying rent?

  • Typical overpayment of additional rent is $3,000 per year. Tenants pay for items that they didn’t agree to pay for because they don’t check their additional rent statements against their lease.
  • Time and time again we see base rent payments $1000 or more per month more than is typical for a tenant’s market because tenants don’t understand the realty market or lease negotiation strategy.
  • Frequently tenants pay more than the lease indicates simply because the lease has been misread. A 200 square foot mathematical error costs a tenant $6,000 each and every year! Latent issues in one form or another appear in almost every lease we review and include a collection of very nasty “traps” which like land mines are set years in advance and surprise tenants at an inopportune time. For example:
  • Can you assign your lease, or are you “on the hook” long after retirement? Can your landlord terminate the lease instead of agreeing to assignment?• Did you agree to overpay rent at term renewal?
  • Can your landlord kick you out or move your practice at your expense “out of the blue”?

As you read this, are you thinking “not me?” Baloney.

Very likely your lease DOES contain at least one of the problems indicated above. Administering your lease on a periodic basis will save you thousands of dollars by identifying and enabling you to deal with issues on a proactive basis.

Every lease should be reviewed by a skilled, experienced and capable professional within the first 18 months of the tenancy, and once a year each year thereafter.

The review should take no more than two hours and should identify material issues to be corrected now or at some future point.

FYidoctors logo trade mark

FYidoctors is Canada’s largest network of optometrists. Doctor-led, professionally managed, and patient-focused, the organization concentrates on delivering outstanding eye care with patient-centric products and services.

In this article, we will be getting to know Dr. Devin Almond, Lead Optometrist at the FYidoctors Kelowna Spall Plaza clinic.

Dr Devin Almond, Lead Optometrist at the FYidoctors Kelowna Spall Plaza clinic

  1. Tell us about yourself!

I was introduced to Optometry through my father Dr. Brad Almond. He was an Optometrist in Calgary and Kelowna for many years. I always gravitated towards healthcare and decided to become an Optometrist after job shadowing at a few clinics in Kelowna. I went to Pacific University and graduated in 2014. Upon graduation, I moved back to Kelowna with my wife and opened a cold start practice with my dad in 2014. It was a humbling but invaluable experience building up a patient base from 0 to what it has become today. During the first few years of opening the practice, I locumed at FYidoctors in Penticton, and that was how I became introduced to the FYi organization.

 

  1. Why did you choose to join FYidoctors?

In 2022, my dad had decided that he wanted to retire so our practice was going through a transition. I had to choose between buying him out, bringing on a partner, or merging with FYi. I chose to merge with FYi because it would allow me to have more work-life balance, reduce the stress associated with running a business by myself, stay competitive against large optometry chains, and still maintain autonomy over my optometric practice. I am very grateful that I made this decision. I believe that FYi is the future of optometrist-owned practices in Canada. With climbing interest rates, excessive amounts of student debt, and rising costs to buy existing practices, I don’t think it’s realistic for many new grads to buy-in to practices anymore. FYi provides a way to not only own shares within a single practice but of the entire company as well. In my opinion, this is a better investment than owning your own practice in this market.

 

  1. What was it like to switch over to FYi?

Anytime a practice is going through a transition, it is difficult. The staff must learn new processes, new products, new sales techniques, and have more meetings. When transitioning, there will always be some resistance and you can expect it to take around a year before everyone has fully adjusted. FYi has a great management team at Home Office for support to make the transition as easy as possible. After getting through the transition period, I believe my staff is performing at a higher level than before due to the training and support they received from FYi. The best thing about FYi has been the centralized recalls. This has taken the burden off my staff from taking time out of their days to call patients and it has improved our patient retention. We have been getting lots of patients returning to the clinic for their eye exams, some of whom haven’t seen in 4 or 5 years! FYi is also great at ensuring its practices have state-of-the-art technology, which some independent practices may not be able to afford – when our OCT machine went down a few months ago, we received a new one very quickly, which is a powerful benefit of being part of a larger organization.

 

Overall, I am very grateful to have joined the FYidoctors team. They provided me with competitive compensation and being able to optimize my work-life balance has improved my quality of life. If you’re an optometrist in Canada, definitely consider joining FYi if your practice is going through a transition or you’re looking for a new job.

worried person waiting

Picture this scenario: A brightly lit, sterile-looking waiting room of an optical clinic. The reception desk buzzes with activity as patients come and go. A nervous patient, Emma, sits fidgeting in a chair, leafing through a magazine. She periodically glances at the entrance, her anxiety palpable.

When she checked in, Emma had mentioned to the receptionist “I’ve never been very comfortable with eye exams. The thought of someone poking around my eyes makes me squirm.”

After checking her in, the receptionist instructs her to sit in the waiting area like they would for any other patient and let’s her know someone will be with her shortly. And so here sits Emma, waiting, worrying, and contemplating leaving the office due to her increasing anxiety. At this point, she’s not sure she will be able to make it through the appointment.

Finally, the pre-tester comes to get her, and she makes it through the pretesting and is seen by the optometrist. She doesn’t voice any concerns, even though she has a few, because she has already maxed out her mental bandwidth for managing her own anxiety about this appointment for the day.

Even though she is handed a prescription for some simple anti-fatigue lenses, she quickly pays for her exam and goes home to order online. Emma would describe this experience as “Terrible. I felt a huge lack of empathy from the staff, and no one answered my questions.”

The staff who helped Emma would view this appointment as being a success, because they got her through the whole appointment, and she didn’t vocalize any complaints at the time. Sure, she didn’t purchase anything, but she wasn’t angry, upset, or irate in any way. That’s a win in our books, right?

As eye care professionals, we must remember that fear isn’t always loud. Sometimes it takes the form of quiet and polite.

We focus on the loud individuals; however, we need to keep in mind that there are quiet and reserved patients whose needs can often get missed and overlooked if you don’t have the skills to spot it and take preventative action.

So how can we do this?

We increase our emotional intelligence! Specifically social awareness.

This will change their perspective and can stop those walkouts from buying online!

Cues to watch for:

Body Language:

  • Tense posture, such as crossed arms or legs.
  • Fidgeting, such as tapping feet or playing with objects.
  • Avoiding eye contact or shifting gaze frequently.
  • Clenched fists or jaw, indicating tension.

Withdrawal or Avoidance:

  • Attempting to delay or avoid the examination.
  • Pulling away from the optometrist or medical equipment.
  • Expressing a desire to leave or reschedule the appointment.

Gestures:

  • Rubbing or massaging temples or forehead.
  • Clenching fists or wringing hands.
  • Restlessness, such as shifting in the seat or pacing.

By attentively observing these social cues, you can start to provide some simple strategies to alleviate the fear, stress, and/or anxiety that your patient is experiencing.

If we think back to Emma’s story, she gave a very direct verbal cue to the receptionist: “I’ve never been very comfortable with eye exams. The thought of someone poking around my eyes makes me squirm.” That was her way of outright telling her “I’m uncomfortable and fearful”.

If the receptionist had picked up on this, she could have done multiple things to help start Emma off on the right foot.

Bonus Tip: Describe the pre-tester to the patient and let the patient know she is very friendly and kind.  This helps build Emma’s perception of her interaction with the pre-tester as being a friendly and kind person.

We have can hone our skills to become more aware of these cues in our patients and provide an amazing experience for them. The first step is becoming more aware of those cues and the next step is having clear steps to help guide them through the experience and influence their perception in a positive way.

If you are one of those amazing individuals that can see the values these skills hold, I invite you to visit https://www.emotionalintelligenceconsultinginc.com to increase your social awareness and skills for influencing a patient’s experience from a negative to a positive one.

Commercial real estate

For over a decade, the Canadian real estate market has experienced growth that far surpassed any rational expectations.

In 2023, the reset of interest rates slightly cooled the market’s fervor, yet the core momentum remained unabated.

Currently, the prospect of rising interest rates looms, driven by increases in the Government of Canada’s five-year bond yields—a precursor to changes in the bank’s prime lending rate.

This development casts doubt on the possibility of interest rate relief in the spring or summer of 2024. I could be wrong.

Understand Ownership and Operating Costs

This context underscores the substantial costs of owning and operating commercial real estate for business owners.

While the residential market garners extensive coverage in media, this discussion will focus on the less-discussed commercial occupancy costs. I recently spoke with a Vancouver practitioner who highlighted a modern, high-tech development in an upscale neighborhood.

The going rate for a vacant commercial condominium there is $2,400 per square foot. Consequently, acquiring a 1,000-squarefoot space demands an investment of $2.4 million, excluding closing costs.

This price tag does not cover the additional expenses for leasehold improvements, which could ascend to another $500,000. Moreover, equipping the practice with necessary technology and equipment may require a further six-figure investment.

Hence, the total initial investment for launching a fully operational new practice in a 1,000-square-foot commercial condo in this elite Vancouver area could reach over $3 million.

This figure represents the debt burden from day one. A metaphorical $3 million ribbon-cutting ceremony, indeed. The journey to debt freedom begins thereafter, patient by patient, potentially spanning decades for the ambitious doctor.

To some, this scenario may resemble a perpetual commitment to a financial institution.

  • Amortized over 20 years
  • At the current prime interest rate of 7.2%
  • Monthly payment: $27,557
  • Total payment over 20 years: $6.6 million
  • Interest cost alone: $3.1 million!

A Harsh Reality

The financial strain on a young doctor would be immense, with the pressure to generate income being nearly insurmountable. Including wages, supplies, lab fees, and other operational expenses, the breakeven point for such a practice is a minimum of $60,000 per month.

And this calculation hasn’t yet accounted for personal living expenses. Therefore, anticipate an additional $250,000 in line of credit usage within the first year, with potentially more in the second year. In summary, within the initial years, this scenario could see the doctor facing $4 million in debt.

By the third year, with some fortune, they might manage to draw a salary between $50,000 and $80,000, yet still grapple with a $4 million debt and over $25,000 in monthly interest payments.

This is the harsh reality of real estate ownership for a new, state-of-the-art practice occupying 1,000 square feet in downtown Vancouver.

For illustration, consider doubling the space to 2,000 square feet and recalculating the figures—truly startling!

Navigating this level of debt while adhering to ethical standards in practice is a formidable challenge for any doctor.

Dont flush practice value down the toilet!

While originally spun from the dental world by Tim Brown, President of ROI Corporation, this story resonates just as profoundly within the realm of optometry.

Reflecting on Tim’s eye-opening narrative. “Why Toilets Matter”, it’s clear that the nuances of practice environment extend far beyond mere aesthetics or functionality. They’re crucial to the very valuation of an optometric practice.

Here’s a curious tidbit that Tim shared, illustrating the point perfectly: A dental office in an older medical building introduced door codes for bathroom access, changing them occasionally.

Sign in dental practiceImagine, if you will, a patient viewing this sign!

This isn’t just about security or modernization; it’s a testament to how amenities, as mundane as bathroom access, can significantly impact a practice’s perceived value.

Amenities such as these aren’t just physical attributes; they’re reflections of how a practice values its staff, patients, and overall operational ethos. And guess what? This wisdom utterly applicable to the optometry world as well.

Tim draws from a decade of hands-on clinical experience before venturing into the appraisal and valuation arena, He has navigated diverse practice settings, each with its unique challenges and comforts. The conclusion? The quality and availability of facilities like bathrooms genuinely matter.

Imagine the daily grind in an optometry practice – it’s a marathon of mental and physical exertion. From the moment you step through those doors, it’s non-stop. The availability of a private space to catch a moment’s breath between patients isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

Yet, disappointingly, this basic requirement remains elusive in many settings. Consider a working mother returning from parental leave, the absence of a private, comfortable space for necessities like breast milk pumping – relegated instead to a cramped public restroom! Disheartening.

Key Point: Minor Details Impact Practice Value

We’ve witnessed firsthand the discomfort of staff and patients sharing a too-close-for-comfort restroom adjacent to the waiting area. The thought of a healthcare professional emerging from such a space, only to engage closely with a patient, underscores a glaring oversight in hygiene and privacy standards.

The dialogue around these issues isn’t new. These seemingly minor details can profoundly affect the morale of your staff, the satisfaction of your patients, and ultimately, the financial valuation of your practice.

In echoing Tim’s sentiments, it’s clear: The gold standard for any healthcare practice, optometry included, must advocate for private bathroom and a dignified, clean space for staff. Let’s not overlook the basics, for in them lies the foundation of our practice’s value and integrity.
