67 MMP | The EQ Edge — How Emotional Intelligence Builds a Myopia Management Practice That Lasts
Dr. Marie Homa-Palladino is the Chief of a Myopia Management Center of Excellence — and she'll be the first to tell you the most important skill in this specialty isn't clinical. It's listening. In this episode, Marie breaks down how she built her practice one hour at a time, why 90% of her consultation is spent talking to the child (not just the parents), and how she learned to read a room fast enough to know — within minutes — whether a family is going to follow through. If you've ever felt stuck trying to convert a consultation or connect with a skeptical parent, this one is for you.
