In this episode, Scott, Mark, and Dr. John Lin tackle a deceptively simple question: does it make sense to perform more complex procedures—like Optilume and other minimally invasive treatments—in the office setting? The discussion breaks down the three critical pillars every practice must evaluate—clinical fit, financial viability, and operational execution—while highlighting key factors such as reimbursement, equipment costs, anesthesia logistics, staffing, and workflow efficiency. They also explore opportunity cost, geographic variability, and how in-office procedures can improve both patient experience and physician productivity when done right. The takeaway: success requires a fully developed plan—because bringing procedures in-house is never just a simple yes or no decision.
