Zachary Brown has been an optometrist for 12 years and has worked in numerous settings including large medical practices and private clinics. He wanted to take the knowledge and experience he’d gained from those years of practice and start his own clinic that focuses on patient needs. He recently opened Walnut Creek Eyecare at 2063 Creek Side Dr. in Papillion and looks forward providing excellent care and a great product to his patients.
Below is an interview with Dr. Brown:
How has the business grown over the years?
I hope to see great growth in the next 5 years. Some estimates show that 50% of the US population will be near-sighted by 2030. This provides optometrist a real area to make a difference.
What do you think sets you apart from other businesses in the same industry?
I feel that the time spent with patients, a large referral network, and our compassionate team will set us apart. Some offices prioritize sheer numbers. We look to prioritize patient needs.
What do you and your team like about living and working in Omaha?
Omaha provides such a good patient base. We have so many quality employers that employ wonderful people. We are lucky to have the opportunity to take care of them. We also have great specialists in Omaha which allow patients who need higher level care to get it locally.
What are your plans for the next five years of your business? 10? 25?
Our plans are to continue to grow the practice. Bringing on a second optometrist in the next 5-10 years would be amazing.
If you could choose one thing you enjoy most about your business, what would it be?
Very cliché but helping people. Sight is such an important sense and being able to help folks improve it or help treat disease that may impair it is very rewarding.
How does your team give back to the community?
As a new practice we are still trying to get our feet under us but optometry provides many ways to help from free exams and glasses, free screenings, and community outreach. We look forward to helping our community as we grow.
Does your business have a mission statement?
Walnut Creek Eyecare strives to provide honest, quality eyecare to the Papillion community.
