EP 1: Three Ophthalmologists Walk Into a Podcast... | The Origin of Wise EYES Guys

Three ophthalmologists walk into a podcast... In the debut episode of Wise EYES Guys, Dr. Sonny Goel, Dr. Jonathan Solomon, and Dr. Andrew Holzman pull back the curtain on who they are, how they became friends and colleagues, and the experiences that shaped the way they practice medicine today. What starts as a conversation about who they are quickly evolves into a discussion about the changing landscape of medicine, the rise of private equity in healthcare, the importance of patient experience, and why they each chose to build practices centered on people rather than volume. Along the way, they tackle some of the biggest misconceptions about vision correction, discuss why so many patients fear procedures that are often life-changing, and explore the rapidly evolving world of refractive surgery and lens technology. At its core, Wise EYES Guys is about seeing the bigger picture—through conversations about medicine, innovation, leadership, entrepreneurship, and life. Topics include: • The origin of Wise EYES Guys • Private practice vs. corporate medicine • Why patient experience still matters • LASIK, lens-based procedures, and the future of vision correction • Fear, trust, and decision-making in eye surgery • Building a practice—and a life—on your own terms Welcome to Wise EYES Guys—where medicine, innovation, and life come into focus.
