Vision Care Collaboration Is The Future

Collaborative Care

Dr. Thomas Harvey’s time with Chippewa Valley Eye Center over the last 15 years was the perfect launch pad for his next step in vision care collaboration. He is an eye surgery specialist with a long track record of working with referring ODs and general ophthalmologists in the surrounding communities. This led to an examination about whether there was perhaps a better way to practice.

Thus was born Independent Vision Group.

We bring our experienced technician and counseling team, and Dr. Harvey provides all surgical education and scheduling in a way that makes your patients comfortable and grateful for this collaborative approach.
