May 30, 2023 — EyeCarePro has announced the winners of the Practice Manager of the Year awards: Sharon DiPilla of EyeKrafters Medical Optics in South Plainfield, NJ, is the first-place winner of $2,500; Amy Rambat of Maydew Thibault Optometry in Pratt, KS, is the second-place winner of $1,000; and Samantha Day of Lakeside Vision in Hawley, PA, is the third-place winner of $500.
 
The awards gathered more than 250 submissions, and winners were chosen by EyeCarePro and sponsors Optify, Foxfire Systems Group, Vision Trends, and ClearVision Optical.
 
“[Sharon DiPilla’s] passion for making someone feel good and look good is her cornerstone. She constantly asks lifestyle dispensing questions to best guide the patient and would be brutally honest about the right look and fit for her patient,” says Lior Koppel, O.D. “She has driven to patients’ homes to deliver their glasses if they were stuck or inconvenienced. She truly has been a tremendous asset to our practice and just this recognition alone makes her a winner in my eyes.”

“What Dr. Koppel wrote was very touching,” says DiPilla. “He showed me the submission and told me I was the winner. It’s nice to be appreciated, it makes you feel great. And he respects what I do—it’s not easy. Our team is all on the same page and we all work together, and I feel as though that’s what has brought success.”
