Overrated and underrated practice management metrics in the business of optometry with Dr. Matt Mitchell

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Matt Mitchell, OD. Matt joins me back on the show to put a light-hearted spin on some of the traditional practice benchmarks that are used in the profession. He talks about benchmarks that he feels are a bit over-rated in their use and dependency and which complementary benchmark that could be used that is under-rated, but still very impactful in helping you know the KPIs (key performance indicators) of your practice that can help you run a smooth and profitable practice.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.
