Dr. Nicole Trabuc: Running a Practice Their Way
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Nicole Trabuc, OD, and her husband, Kyle Wainwright, OD, have two practices in Manhattan, Kansas—one which Dr. Wainwright took on inside a Walmart and a private practice the couple opened recently. They made some unconventional choices, such as paying down their combined $200,000 in student loan debt in just more than three years, not taking any vision insurance, and opening a gym as a side business. So far, it's working well for them.
