VSP Ventures Expands California Footprint with Addition of Six New Optometric Practices

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. - Announced today, six optometric practices across California have joined VSP^® Ventures, a VSP Vision^™ company that provides practice transition options for private practice doctors of optometry.

Now including more than 100 practices across the country, the six newest practices within the VSP Ventures family are:

• Buena Visita Eyecare Optometry in San Jose
• San Gabriel Family Optometry in San Gabriel
• El Dorado Hills Optometric Center in El Dorado Hills
• Borel Eye Doctors of Optometry in San Mateo
• Visionmax Optometry in Porter Ranch
• 2 See Optometry in Glendale

"We're honored these six practices have chosen VSP Ventures as a partner and we look forward to carrying forward their legacy of great patient care in their communities," said VSP Ventures President Kathleen Steele. "The continued growth of VSP Ventures reflects the clear need for practice transition solutions that support doctors and the long-term success of their practices."

VSP Ventures offers practice owners a purpose-driven, patient-centered approach to practice management. VSP Ventures locations are members of a network of centrally managed practices that benefit from robust operational support, allowing doctors to focus on patient care.

"Transitioning my practice to VSP Ventures has been a positive step for both my team and patients. With the administrative support in place, I'm able to fully focus on doing what I love - delivering quality care and building meaningful patient relationships," said Dr. Karen H. Chao of San Gabriel Family Optometry. "As I begin to look forward to retirement, this support - and knowing the business side is in good hands - gives me real peace of mind that my practice, team, and patients will continue to be well cared for."
