Can’t believe it’s been 5+ years since I first bought my practice as a new grad.

I knew it wouldn’t be easy breaking into a very specialized field of ophthalmology (ie refractive 👁️ surgery) where:

🔸 Fewer than 20% of surgeons are women (just look up the top LASIK surgeons in your area); and

🔸 The startup cost for each laser machine alone is over $150K+ (we have 3)

There were senior doctors who didn’t want to refer me patients and patients who didn’t want me as their surgeon. I didn’t blame them—I doubted myself, too.

⏭️ Fast forward to 2023, where we just closed our best December ever and became one of the top-rated eye centers in Los Angeles 🤯. Words cannot express how grateful I am to our amazing patients, colleagues, and teammates for believing in us and helping our little practice get to where it is today 🙏🏻!

There’s still so much room to grow, but one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is that commanding respect from others starts with having respect for and confidence in yourself. Because guess what? Your patients and colleagues sense it, too. It’s never easy starting out or transitioning to something new, but never let your own insecurities hold you down. Show ‘em what you got—You’ve only just begun 💫♥️💪🏻 #happy2024 #medmotivation #womeninmedicine #femalesurgeon #eyedoctor #lasik #premed #medstudent #doctor #womenempowerment
