More surgical referrals

Aligned patient volume

Ophthalmology referral marketing
How ophthalmology practices get more referrals.
Who refers to ophthalmology practices
Ophthalmology referrals come from a predictable set of providers. The practice that is known to these offices, easy to refer to and consistent about communicating back gets the majority of their ophthalmology cases. The list for your specialty:
- optometrists
- primary care physicians
- endocrinologists
- urgent care centers
- neurologists
- rheumatologists
- pediatricians
Why ophthalmology referrals go to a competitor
Optometrists control the flow of cataract, glaucoma and retina referrals, and every ophthalmology practice in your market is competing for the same optometric offices. The practice that co manages well, communicates fast and visits regularly keeps the relationship. The others lose it slowly.
What a physician liaison does for a ophthalmology practice
An ophthalmology liaison builds and maintains optometric co management relationships, keeps primary care and endocrinology offices referring diabetic patients for exams, and makes sure referring providers hear back after every surgery.
How Doctor Referral Institute builds ophthalmology referrals
We start with a map of every office in your market that should be sending you cataract surgery, premium IOLs, glaucoma, retina, cornea, oculoplastics and diabetic eye disease. A referral specialist builds the visit plan and a local rep works it every week, in person. Every visit is logged and you receive a weekly report: offices visited, who was seen, what was said and which sources have started referring. Exclusivity is one ophthalmology practice per market, so every relationship built in your area is built for you.

Questions about ophthalmology referrals
How do ophthalmologists get more referrals from optometrists?
Reliable co management, fast surgical scheduling, clear post op communication and consistent in person contact. Our reps maintain that contact across every optometric office in your market.
Do primary care physicians refer to ophthalmologists?
Yes, especially for diabetic eye exams, sudden vision changes and glaucoma screening. Most PCPs refer to whichever practice their staff knows.
Can referral marketing help a retina or glaucoma subspecialty practice?
Yes. Subspecialty referrals come from general ophthalmologists and optometrists, and both respond to relationship based outreach.
Is there exclusivity?
One ophthalmology practice per market.
