We had the good fortune of connecting with Ben Baumrind and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ben, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The past few years have been transformative for our society. There has been a renewed appreciation for personalized care and the unique inviting environment that comes with small businesses. This time of isolation, I believe, has pushed us to see the faults in big medicine and to search for health care relationships that do not feel rushed and robotic. I wanted to create a fully personalized yet highly efficient way to provide superior eye care in my community.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My wife and I have a joint Eye and Dental office that exudes sleek professionalism with concentration on personalized care. The office staff for my wife consists of 2 pairs of sisters, along with my staff that has been with me for over 3 years. The welcoming and loving environment is instantly apparent. We have created what we would want if we were the patient and spared no expense on state of the art of equipment. We limit our schedules to ensure we can provide comprehensive care and prevent a patient feeling rushed or a patient leaving without fully understanding their condition and treatment plan.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take this friend to an Atlanta United game, followed by a trip to Putt Shack. I would fit in Rumi’s Kitchen for a meal.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I am so grateful for the critical support I have received from my wife, brother and mother over the years. If I were to highlight one person that deserves the most recognition is my father. From early childhood, he pushed me academically at every stage. Tragically he died during the covid pandemic and did not get to witness my new business formation and opening.
