GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., January 9, 2018 – Shoreline Vision, an eye care group practice with deep community roots in the West Michigan Lakeshore Region, has partnered with Great Lakes Management Services Organization (MSO). Shoreline Vision began in 1996 when five ophthalmologists decided to form an alliance to provide residents in their communities the best possible vision care available; since then, the group has grown to more than 150 staff at seven locations.
“Every decision Shoreline Vision makes is dependent on improving our patients’ care, whether it is investing in the latest technology, adding sub-specialty physicians, or improving our facilities. Our latest decision to partner with Great Lakes MSO and the vast resources they can provide is consistent with that theme,” said Dr. John N. Oltean, a founding member of Shoreline Vision and board-certified ophthalmologist. “We are extremely excited to be a part of the organization that has included Grand Rapids Ophthalmology in its portfolio of premier ophthalmology practices in the country. We are certain this will benefit our patients, employees, and community for years to come.”
Shoreline Vision provides thorough, comprehensive eye examinations to patients of all ages. Their team of dedicated, eye-health professionals emphasizes clinical excellence and advanced technology to better serve patients’ needs, from the most basic eye exams to the latest in surgical procedures.
“Since its inception, Shoreline Vision has been dedicated to delivering the highest quality of eye care,” said Bill Hughson, CEO of Great Lakes MSO. “Their patient-care philosophy and approach to preserving and restoring eyesight are completely consistent with Great Lakes MSO’s vision of improving sight and changing lives.”
