TESTIMONIALS
Impressing Our Partners Is Essential for Future Success
AEG Vision is a caring community of local providers, helping our neighbors take care of their vision, one patient at a time.
“Change is hard in any situation at best. It is much more difficult as one transitions towards an exit strategy and the goal of eventual retirement. After much research and discussion, we decided AEG was the right group for us to join. From the very beginning they were easy to talk to, they negotiated fair and they were very understanding of my situation. Passing on the day-to-day operations of the office has taken a big weight off my shoulder. Now, when working at the office I just have to be worried about providing the best care for our patients. Of course, I also had to consider what happens to my associate doctors and my staff. If I felt in any way, they would be hurt by my decision to sell to AEG, I would not have gone through with the sale. They have kept my associate and employees happy and there are more opportunities for them to grow and advance in the field. I consider joining AEG a good decision for me, my family and my employees.”

BELLA OPTICAL
“I was looking for a pathway toward retirement at some point in time. I didn’t feel like I could get what I felt the practice was worth to me. The practice has grown over the years despite surviving two hurricanes, a flood, three moves, and the pandemic. With the growth of the practice, the stress of keeping up with the financial pressures and an unsure political and economic future, I felt the timing was right to get some help.”
William Pope, O.D.
PARKWOOD VISION CENTER
“The goals for the future of our practice are clearly shared by AEG Vision, our doctors and our staff. We have a multi-specialty eye care practice that is dedicated to advanced technologies and the most current evidence-based eye care available. Through our partnership with AEG Vision, NSVC will continue to grow and share our knowledge with other practices in the AEG Vision family. Our bright future simply would not have been possible staying as a lone independent eye care practice.”

“In a practice transition partner I looked for an organization poised for strong growth and also one with a strong leadership team.

INSIGHT VISION CENTER
“In AEG Vision, we have found a partner whose leadership team has had a track record of success, a company who has been able to maintain stability during growth periods and most importantly someone who shares the same vision of medical optometry that we had built our practice on for the last several decades.”

HARPER’S POINT EYE ASSOCIATES
“Making a decision to partner your company with another business is no small endeavor. I had the fortune to interview five company’s to partner. Three of which I did a final negotiation until time to sign the final deal. AEG was the only Company who walked their talk through the end. AEG’s philosophy of people first, assuring me they make the best effort to make very little change on how we treat our team and patients, providing much needed help in the back office and the list goes on. This has all been accomplished in less than four months. You cannot imagine the many turning cogs during the transition process. The AEG team continuously works with communicating and processing to keep the energy moving forward. Finally, the stress level of being CEO, CFO, COO, CMO, HR is gone and I can enjoy patients family and life.”
Brian Kane, O.D.

“I partnered with AEG Vision so that I could focus more on being a doctor instead of stressing over business decisions. A few of my classmates had worked with AEG in the past and have been happy with the partnership. Every AEG team member that I have encountered so far has been amazing and super supportive!”

PEARLAND PROFESSIONAL VISION
“Every detail was accounted for during the acquisition process. We were able to provide a good buyout structure for the owners that were retiring and come up with terms that worked for the owners staying on with AEG Vision. AEG Vision was very interested in analyzing what was working well with our practice and discussing enhancements they would bring to the business to make it more successful. We had many open discussions about things that were important to us, as owners, and incorporating that into the terms of the purchase agreement.”
