Vision Source of Farr West has made a point of re- fining its processes to accommodate the evolving needs of patients. The Utah-based practice deliv- ers an exceptional patient experience by following the “golden rule”—treating everyone the way they wish to be treated in return. In addition to their personal approach, Ian Whipple, OD—who purchased the practice in 2013—regu- larly meets with industry leaders and representa- tives to stay up-to-date on the latest technolog- ical advancements for the benefit of his patients. By embracing technology such as the Optomap wide-field imaging system, the staff has been able to detect diabetes, macular degeneration, brain tumors, retinal detachments, and in one life-saving case, a stroke that was occurring right in the office.
While the lessons learned through experience are invaluable for the staff, education is not limited to the office; the team at Vision Source of Farr West is encouraged and enabled to participate in sub- stantial professional development, and both doc- tors complete three times the required amount of continuing education credits each year. The entire staff attends the annual Utah Optometric Associ- ation meeting, and they share ideas and success stories with other practices whenever possible. Dr. Whipple has also made a point of connecting the practice to the community, including providing free eye examinations to low-income students in downtown Ogden.
