Speaker: Rodolfo Rodriguez, O.D., New Jersey

Rodolfo Rodriguez, O.D.: Paraoptometrics are true partners in providing excellent patient care. They are the first people our patients interact with when they contact or enter the practice, so they help set up the tone for the entire patient experience. Their professional skills and their role in working up and preparing the patients, as well as educating them, allows me to focus more fully on diagnosis and treating. Simply put, paraoptometrics help make high quality, efficient, and personalized eye care possible.
