Banzai Consortium

the mere survival of private practice optometry is neither a worthwhile goal nor desire of the banzai consortium. rather it is our vision that private practice optometry flourishes and thrives! the original principles and standards were fairly basic. an optometrist should be in a private non-commercial practice, should have at least ten years of experience, should have gross revenues of at least one million dollars, be committed to providing excellent patient care and must be invited by another member. whereas this cornerstone of the banzai consortium should not be moved, we feel the structure we build upon it must be reviewed as we look to the future. we realize there are other qualified optometrists in the united states, besides the original fifty members at our first meeting, who share this vision. also, there are many younger optometrists that may not be a banzai level doctor, but within the next few years could easily meet or exceed this membership requirement. let’s mentor them!
