Meet Dr. Steele

Dr. Kurt Steele, Optometrist & Practice Growth Expert


About Me —

This is the view from my living room window. I am so blessed to have this scene from my house. I live in rural Appalachia. Some of us live on the ocean. Others live on the lake or are land locked like I am. We all live and practice in different settings.

I don’t want to be a “carbon copy” coach that provides the same content for everyone.  Everyone’s needs are different, and success looks different for every practice. For years, I have dreamed of using the talents that God has blessed me with to not only preserve independent optometry, but make sure it thrives.

The question is: what is your idea of success? Depending on your needs, I would like to help in any way I can. The first step is a questionnaire and a complimentary video or audio call to see if we feel I can be of service to you. I would love to hear from you!!!

What Others Are Saying

Below has been written about me and I liked it. Gave me the big head lol. My passion lies in aiding private practices to prosper in the short term while devising long-term strategies for growth and the addition of more doctors and team members. The ultimate goal is to foster the flourishing of independent optometry practices and prevent their acquisition by non-private optometry entities.
