Buying an optometry practice takes more than finding a good opportunity — it requires knowing which numbers matter and where to invest first. How can owners use practice metrics and ROI to make smarter decisions and build a stronger business?

Dr. Wes McCann, an optometrist and experienced multi-practice owner, recommends using measurable performance to guide both acquisitions and ongoing practice improvement. Revenue per patient, dispensing rates, imaging capture rates, and revenue per doctor day can help owners identify opportunities, benchmark performance, and coach their teams more effectively. Dr. McCann stresses understanding the barriers behind an underperforming initiative before abandoning it, while delegating to strong team members and specialists instead of trying to manage everything alone. The goal is to combine good data with flexibility, disciplined investment, and continuous improvement.

In this episode of Optometrist Unleashed, a Cleinman Connect Podcast, Dr. Trevor Miranda continues his conversation with Dr. Wes McCann, Founder of Doctors Vision Group, about buying practices and prioritizing growth. Dr. McCann covers key practice metrics, benchmarking, and ROI-driven initiatives. He also discusses delegation, innovation, and overcoming fear around acquisition debt.
