Sneha Bagavandoss, OD Southern College of Optometry ‘18
“I have had the opportunity to participate in a large variety of clinical care and have also gotten a glimpse of the practice management aspect of private practice. This program has been incredible, especially in increasing my knowledge and exposure to neuro-optometric care. The clinical care has been amazing and I have had the opportunity to work with all kinds of patients. I have also begun learning more about practice management, which has been incredibly enriching as well.
The program at Eyecare Professionals and Drs. Tannen, Despotidis, and Lee have been an amazing opportunity for me in increasing my knowledge in specialty care optometry as well as preparing me for a future in private practice optometric care. I have absolutely loved this last year learning and growing as a clinician at Eyecare Professionals. With the support of Drs. Tannen, Lee, and Despotidis, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be the resident at Eyecare Professionals and look forward to what the future holds!"

"I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to complete my residency year with Eyecare Professionals. I feel more confident than ever in terms of my knowledge base, clinical abilities and practice management skills. Through my experience with patients of all ages in the vision therapy, ocular disease and primary care I am entering my first year of independent clinical practice with the certainty that I can provide exceptional care to my patients.
This residency program is truly the whole package: exposure to all areas of optometry with a focus in vision therapy and rehabilitation, a module in practice management and best of all a family of doctors that will support you throughout your career. I would encourage any graduating optometrist to consider this residency if they are interested in learning how to successfully develop and manage a vision therapy specialty in a private practice."

I am grateful for the intellectual, clinical, and personal growth EyeCare Professionals has provided. I will cherish the time spent working alongside such a wonderful team of doctors and staff. I couldn’t have asked for more. “
