A Message from Our Founder & CEO
My day starts with charting at 6:30 a.m., then at 8:00, I have my first patient, typically staying until around 6:00 p.m. Even with that schedule, I’m still never fully caught up.
This burden is universal in healthcare. The result is an environment where, like all doctors, I carry such a constant administrative burden that I feel guilty taking the time for a dinner out with my wife. I know it’s only going to get worse.
Something I’ve been wrestling with for years became obvious: every practice was drowning in the same administrative quicksand. Meanwhile, AI was transforming industries around us.
I founded AVTRMed because I live the problem we’re solving.
Our AI Clinic Assistant is purpose-built for ophthalmology and optometry – designed by practitioners who understand your workflows, not technologists learning healthcare on the fly. HIPAA-compliant technology delivers, low-latency automation for scheduling, insurance verification, documentation and more.
AVTRMed’s technology integrates seamlessly with existing practice management systems and is future-proofed, expanding its capabilities as AI improves. Most importantly, it’s designed to handle the administrative burden so you and your team can focus on what matters: exceptional patient care.
When looking for a partner to develop our platform, I wanted the best. Sterling Computers serves the U.S. Department of Defense and has been recognized as Partner of the Year by both NVIDIA and Dell. Their expertise in building secure, mission-critical AI systems became our foundation.
Our leadership team brings over 100 years of combined eyecare experience and has generated more than $2 billion in liquidity value.
We’re not outsiders disrupting healthcare – we’re insiders who’ve built and scaled successful companies in this space and understand what practices need.
The benefits are already clear: we’ve seen no-shows drop by 40% through intelligent automated appointment reminders and confirmations. The front desk staff … what used to take my team 15-20 hours per week on insurance verifications and follow-ups now happens automatically in the background.
The impact on my time is even more striking. I’ve reclaimed approximately 12 hours per week that I can dedicate to seeing additional patients, complex surgical planning or simply leaving the office before 6:00 p.m.
If you recognize the transformative potential of AI in the massive healthcare segment and want to shape its impact alongside others determined to improve patient care, we invite you to join us.
