What Doesn’t Change Post-Affiliation?
At EyeSouth, we understand the importance of preserving the essence of your local practice. Our commitment to maintaining the core elements that define your practice remains unwavering post-affiliation.
Your Brand and Culture
At EyeSouth, we recognize that your practice’s unique culture is integral to your identity. Your distinctive values and character will be respected and elevated, ensuring that patients feel the same sense of familiarity and trust they have come to associate with your practice.
Clinical and Surgical Decision Making
We believe that medical expertise should never be compromised. Post-affiliation, you will retain full control over your clinical and surgical decision-making processes. This ensures that the high standards of care you provide to your patients remain consistent and uncompromised.
Referral Relationships
Your established referral relationships are the result of years of trust-building and collaboration. These connections will remain intact, enhanced by our support to improve communication and cooperation between practices.
Physician-to-Physician Marketing & CME

Day-to-Day Compliance Management
Compliance is a cornerstone of healthcare practice. Your meticulous adherence to regulations and protocols will remain unaffected post-affiliation.
The partnership with EyeSouth doesn’t seek to alter what makes your practice exceptional. Rather, it aims to amplify and support your existing strengths. By ensuring that these essential elements remain constant, we strive to create a partnership that benefits both your practice and the larger community we serve.
