WELCOME TO OUR SITE

Decision-Maker PLUS was formed as a result of the need for a comprehensive online resource tool for eye care providers.  Having a practice entails multiple areas a practitioner has to balance.  From growing a practice, training and hiring staff, keeping up with billing and coding changes and lastly keeping up with the clinical care plans and staying current. Our online tools and resources allow the practitioner to provide better care by making better decisions at the point of care, when the patient is sitting in your chair. 

Our team consists of 40 years of experience in optometry. We have faced all the challenges of different practice settings and would like to share our experience with you.  Our resources allows you as the practitioner to move forward to face these challenges in the least disruptive way possible, so you can spend more time doing what you do best…taking care of your patients. So whether you are an established practitioner or a new practitioner there are various resources in our subscription that will appeal to all stages of practice and all types of practice.

Thank you for visiting our site and we hope you find your subscription to Decision-Maker PLUS helps you take care of your patients and be successful.
