About Eye Concern


Mission Statement

The mission of The Eye Concern, Inc. is to provide those in need of ocular prosthetics with a quality product that fits well, provides optimal cosmesis, comfort and security, and that blends naturally with the patient's anatomy.

We strive to produce prosthetics that have the appearance of "living tissue". It is our desire that every person who engages Eye Concern will have a pleasing, comfortable, and memorable experience.

As our receptionist and scheduler, Karen is the young lady who will greet you at the window when you first enter our office. Upon your first visit to Eye Concern, Karen will help you with patient registration and insurance verification. She may be able to help you obtain authorizations for the services which will need to be done in our office. Later, Karen will be calling you to confirm your appointments which you have scheduled with us and to answer any of your questions. She will also be collecting insurance co-pays and/or deductibles as well as other payments for services rendered during your visit. Please feel free to ask Karen any question you may have.
Sheri is our Project Manager here at Eye Concern. Being very good with patient services, Sheri spends a good deal of her time with all public relations matters. She is busy preparing our Patient Treatment Plans, obtaining scripts from referring doctors, and assisting with billing and account auditing. Stepping up and answering phones and scheduling appointments when our scheduler is unavailable is another of Sheri's skills, along with all around trouble shooting. She may be the one returning your phone call should you have questions. Also, Sheri coordinates compliance with government regulations in our office which pertain to Ocularistry.
