Dr. Brianna Rhue was raised by two furniture-building entrepreneurs who modeled how to pave your own way and create your own path in life. From getting her first pair of contact lenses in 2nd grade, Brianna seemed destined to create her path in optometry. Learn how she has not only became sole owner of her practice, but also co-founded one of America’s fastest growing technology companies. She channeled her frustration from patients loving her exams yet taking their contact lens prescription to another provider into an opportunity to build Dr. Contact Lens. She wants every optometrist to understand and leverage their value while maintaining a patient-centric and staff-centric approach to care. She discusses how she personally relies on staff input and technology innovations to run an efficient practice with a small team. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss!
