Interviewer:
What would you say, if you were to give bullet points – however many bullet points it is, maybe three, maybe four, maybe five – what are the major areas of your practice, the major spheres of care that you offer?
Dr. Alan Shuster:
Well general ophthalmic or eyecare, in terms of diagnosis of a whole bunch of diseases, ocular well-being and preventative strategies, and surgical planning for things like advanced technology cataract surgery, laser assisted cataract surgery, cataract with multifocal or accommodative implants, cataract surgery for correction of astigmatism or combinations of that, and the glaucoma surgeries: the laser – selective laser trabeculoplasty, where patients may or may not want to have drops or may not want (due to cost and hassle, or either or both of drops) – they’ll choose laser or if, it’s more advanced, they have the option to go to a minimally invasive glaucoma surgical procedure such as eye stint or endoscopic ciliary photocoagulation: PCP.
Interviewer:
Just thinking real quickly – just go north, east, south, west: name some of the cities and suburbs from which your patients come. So the people that you’ve served through the years – hopscotch around and name for us some of the communities they come from .
Dr. Alan Shuster:
Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, North Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Hope Sound, Tequesta, Port Saint Lucie, Palm City, Port Salerno, Fort Pierce – that’s it for starters.
Interviewer:
Pretty broad spectrum.
Dr. Alan Shuster:
It’s a big demographic. I didn’t realize how big and how far patients would drive – but even with it up farther north in Stuart.
Interviewer:
We’ve already seen it today. The lady I just talked to, she drove almost forty minutes to get here and she said she would not have even dreamed of stopping anywhere else – that lady with the dog. She had to get back and walk her dog.
Dr. Alan Shuster:
That’s part of what I missed … about wanting to come back – and retirement wasn’t an option.
