Elizabeth Christoff, O.D., has been with America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses in Louisville for a year. When it comes to business modalities, she’s done it all, including working for an ophthalmologist and owning her own private practice for 14 years.

1 WHY CORPORATE?

“With the challenges of health care and retirement planning, I decided corporate as a salaried employee made sense.”

2 THE PLUSES

“I like all the benefits I didn’t have before, plus not managing the business side. On the professional side, there’s a lot of support, too. We’re a team.”

3 PATIENT RELATIONSHIPS

“I always heard patients don’t care who you are in corporate. I’m finding you can absolutely build those relationships, that people ask for you.”

4 CORPORATE CAREERS

“It’s not just for new grads. I see doctors of every age here and many who’ve been with the company for 25 years. That’s really cool.” COT!
