But Don’t Just Take Our Word For It...
Don Teig, O.D., F.A.A.O., Ridgefield Family Eyecare
We have nothing but praise for the quality of Santinelli
equipment. Our goal was to provide our patients with
outstanding products and service in a timely manner.
We were also very aware of the potential for cost savings
that we could derive from in-office edging. This decision
was a “slam dunk.” We are happy, our patients are
happy and our “bottom line” is ecstatic!
Hilde White, Barry Huse
O.D. and Associates, P.S.
With the new VSP IOF
program, patients are getting
their glasses quicker which
makes them happier and more
likely to refer other patients
which in turn, makes us more
money!! I really have no idea
how anyone cannot find this
option more convenient and
money saving for their practice.
It is so very worth it!
Neil B. Gailmard, O.D., M.B.A.,
F.A.A.O.; Gailmard Eye Center;
President, Gailmard Consulting
I am extremely pleased with our
Santinelli equipment and with the
customer service we have received.
The best edger I’ve ever owned in
my 25 years of edging. I’m passing
the word along to my colleagues.
Sam Morgenstern, F.N.A.O., F.O.A.A., The Optical Shoppe
To best serve our patients, in-house edging is a must. And it
saves me both time and money. Doing the lab work in-office,
we are saving a ton of money. THANK GOD for the new edgers
from Santinelli. Their edgers make the most complicated
shapes and RX’s as easy to cut as my mom’s apple pie.
Sharon Branigan, Branigan Optical
My Santinelli edgers kept my business afloat during
some turbulent times. The edgers didn’t just make
lenses, they made me money. I cannot understand
how any optical business can maintain profit margins
without in-house edging. It’s like not having a
computer or a phone.
John L. Schachet, O.D., Eyecare Consultants, Vision Source
I have been very pleased with the new Santinelli edger. With
the new VSP In-Office Finishing program, we are now edging
many jobs that we were routinely sending out for private
pay patients and have been very pleased with the results.
The increase in technology with our new edger shows in our
office’s finishing capability.
Christopher J. Hey, O.D., Highlands EyeCare
We hadn’t been finishing our own lenses,
but with the changes in VSP’s program
allowing in-office edging, we decided it would
be an advantage to us. Patient satisfaction
is higher when we can return finished
eyeglasses more quickly. It makes us more
competitive with the corporate locations
that offer eyeglasses in an hour.
Leonilo Torio, O.D.,
South City Optometry
The easy addition of our Santinelli
edger under the VSP IOF program
is giving us the opportunity to
expand our practice. The edger does
not take up much room at all and
maintenance is very minimal…
technical support is very quick.
The staff has found it really easy
to use and the financial impact
has been nothing but positive.
