The George and Matilda Eyecare South West Rocks team.
George and Matilda Eyecare has expanded its presence on the mid north coast of New South Wales with the addition of Michelle Ferguson and her practice in South West Rocks.
Ms Ferguson embarked on her optometric career in 1995, dedicating an impressive 25 years to her practice, which is well known for offering a high level of professional yet personal service.
“I pride myself on giving quality care to our community,” said Ms Ferguson. “Being the only eye health provider in town, I cherish the relationships built with patients over the years. Joining George and Matilda Eyecare allows me to extend my professional life while ensuring continuity of care for my community.”
Gather information and seek advice from peers to make the best decision for the future of your practice
For other optometrists considering a similar transition, Ms Ferguson advised thorough succession planning and exploring all options, including George and Matilda Eyecare. “Consider your work/life balance and the changes you desire,” she said. “Gather information and seek advice from peers to make the best decision for the future of your practice.”
Ms Ferguson, who said joining George and Matilda Eyecare had been “a smooth process, thanks to their guidance” said she and her team were excited to continue serving the community under their new banner.
“Their promise of complete professional autonomy and resources for the future reassured me that our community will continue to receive top-tier eye care long after my retirement,” she said.
George and Matilda Eyecare now provides eye care services to over 100 communities across Australia. In a statement the company said the latest expansion “further cements the company’s position as a leading eye care provider, dedicated to delivering the highest level of service and care for their patients”.
